My Old School, which went on general release in UK cinemas on Friday, is a film which tells the true story of Brandon Lee - a grown man who in 1993 managed to convince staff and pupils at Bearsden Academy that he was a high school student.
When the bizarre story first broke, it attracted widespread and sensational news coverage. Now the release of the movie is getting the conversation started again.
Directed by Jono McLeod, one of Lee’s old classmates, the film tells the tale through Lee’s interview clips as well as animated sequences and archive footage. The documentary stars Lulu, Clare Grogan and Alan Cumming, who expertly lip-synchs over present-day audio recordings from Lee - real name Brian MacKinnon.
