Govan: Gentrification or Regeneration?

Govan was once the home of Glasgow's shipbuilding industry but with the loss of the shipyard Govan faces an uncertain future. Does the burgeoning film and television industry in Glasgow a solution to bringing jobs back to Govan? And will the newly planned Partick- Govan bridge bring in trade or simply drive up prices?

Charley McCabe, a young Govan resident who's interested in working in film and television sets out to find out the answers to these two questions. In her conversations, she speaks to Alison Goring, head of the National Film and Television School in Glasgow, David from the GalGael trust and Councillor Richard Bell. She also speaks to Bristol's Keith Cowling and George Fergoson about their unique experience fighting gentrification in Glasgow.
