THIS September marks 10 years since the Scottish independence referendum of 2014.
While the result was not what many Scots had hoped for, the vote undoubtedly shaped Scotland's political landscape forever.
As the country's only pro-independence daily newspaper, we want to mark this important milestone on the independence journey.
That's why we've decided to host an event to facilitate reflection on the last decade, and debate around how to proceed – with the movement keen to find a path forwards in the wake of the General Election.
On September 17 we'll be hosting a screening of the brilliant independence referendum documentary To See Ourselves, by award-winning filmmaker Jane McAllister.
The National has long been a champion of this important film, which follows Jane's father Fraser as he campaigns for an independent Scotland against the backdrop of family life.
We're thrilled to be working with Jane's production firm New Licht Films to bring a superb, moving and authentic to piece of work to more people – particularly after it was blocked from all Scottish film festivals last year.
Following the screening, we'll be joined by Jane, her father, Lesley Riddoch, and a senior Scottish Government figure for a panel discussion and Q&A on the film - plus what comes next for the independence movement.
We are looking forward to meeting our subscribers in person, as it's the first in-person event we've been able to organise ourselves since the pandemic.
Get your tickets now here and join us at the Social Hub, Glasgow, on September 17 at 6pm.
