Meet the Buchanans (PG) + Q&A

For over 300 years, the Scottish Clan Buchanan has been without a chief. That is, until now…

Historical fact and historical fantasy collide in Meet the Buchanans, a documentary observing the coming inauguration of millionaire Scottish landowner Mike Buchanan as the newly confirmed Clan Buchanan Highland Chief.

This Scottish-made, 80% Scottish-located documentary takes a tongue-in-cheek and slightly sideways look at the traditional institution of the Scottish Clan through a contemporary lens and its relevance in modern Scotland and in an international context. The film uncovers a world of wealth and privilege as Mike and his family stake their claim to the new chiefly role. It raises questions about identity, class, historical values and traditions.

The screening includes a post-show Q&A hosted by John Kirk Hope with Director Barbara Orton.
