Lad, a Yorkshire Story

Lad is a low budget film made right here in and around Settle several years ago.   It was highly acclaimed at the time but never made it big time, which is a shame.   It is the story of a boy growing up in this part of the Dales, losing his father, going off the rails, getting 'in bother', running away (via Settle station of course) and sorting himself out with a lot of help.   Funny, sad and thought provoking.   And lots of familiar scenery too.

Thanks maybe to the miracles of the internet it is achieving the recognition it deserves.   Some in the know have gone so far as to rate it among the 100 best films of all time.

Well, you can make up your own mind because here it is, all of it, in HD:
