The Wake of Calum MacLeod
I've been looking for this for a while since I read about it doing well at film festivals. Although I found a lot written about it, the DVD seems to be sold out wherever it was previously for sale online.
Suddenly, it has appeared pro-bono on vimeo. The link below will take you to the complete short film entitled, "Faire Chaluim MhicLeoid / The Wake of Calum MacLeod".
This is the story of a modern Gàidhlig seannachie (story teller) in Cape Breton, one of a dying breed. The film is in Gaelic but there are English subtitles. It won't take long, but I highly recommend you check it out and if you every have the chance to help support the film makers by purchasing the DVD if it becomes available again, that wouldn't be a bad thing either. I know that's my plan. Beannachd Leibh!

A sweet, and funny, story. Thanks.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
