Castlemilk Then and Now | Glasgow News

Published 1 day, 1 hour ago
Description

Thirty years after its debut, the groundbreaking documentary Looking for Mr. Rogers returns to screens—this time in its original three-screen format, with restored audio and visuals—to revisit Castlemilk, Glasgow’s post-war housing project that promised fresh starts but delivered isolation. The film, blending archival footage, news clips, and firsthand accounts, captures decades of struggle and resilience, from its founding amid overcrowding to today’s ongoing fight for basic amenities like a supermarket. As community members reflect on the film’s 1990s-era prophecy about regeneration—or lack thereof—the weekend screenings invite audiences to reckon with how far—or not—Castlemilk has come, and what still needs to change.
