Sailm nan Daoine (Psalms of the People) is the newest film by Jack Archer, made in collaboration with the film's lead character, Rob MacNeacail. Spoken part in English, part in Gaelic, the film is a fresh take on an old tradition: musician Rob embarks on a road trip across Scotland and Ireland to explore the tradition of Gaelic psalm singing. It's an entertaining and heart-warming film about the power of community, family and the resilience needed to keep a language alive.
