Douglas Stuart Love, Hope and Grit (2022 - 2022)

From the BBC's "Imagine" strand comes this documentary/biopic of Douglas Stuart who grew up to be a gay man in the unforgiving East End of working class Glasgow, Scotland. The BBC's Alan Yentob meets him at a critical point in his career as he emerges from the starlight of his triumphant debut novel, the winner of the Booker Prize, "Shuggie Bain". They walk the streets of Glasgow’s East End and the East Village in New York where Douglas Stuart made his career in high fashion with Calvin Klein and tries to unite the two very different sides of his life through his writing.
