My Old School
An astonishing and engrossing documentary about 90s Scottish school legend and imposter Brandon Lee, played by Alan Cumming.
Director: Jono McLeod
Overview
In 1993, 16-year-old Brandon Lee enrolled at Bearsden Academy, a secondary school in Glasgow. Hailing from Canada, he was mysterious and exceptionally bright. However, there was something a little off. Little did his classmates in Year 5 know how their lives were about to change because of him. A joyful, stranger-than-fiction documentary that mixes interviews with Brandon (played by Alan Cumming) alongside testimonies from his classmates and charming animated re-enactments.
