The last of a series of three Scottish videos, prepared for broadcast on Berlin's Offener Kanal cable channel in 1994, this programme is entirely devoted to a short film. The story of Richard G. Campbell’s award winning drama ‘Ghost Dancer’ is based on the aftermath of the closure of Ravenscraig Steel Mill in 1992.

Taking its title from the native American Ghost Dance, “a ritual and the last hope of the Indian Nation facing extinction because the white man broke every promise he made to them”, the film opens with a man walking into a huge derelict industrial building and remembering the days when it was a working steel works.

Driving north to Mallaig in the car he bought with his redundancy money, he picks up a hitchhiker who turns out to be one of his former Army colleagues and who now lives in a lonely croft on Skye. The hitchhiker encourages our hero to take a more revolutionary view of his predicament, before committing suicide on a desolate beach.

Visiting his former friend’s croft he finds papers and photos detailing a plot to assassinate the steel industry leader who was responsible for the closure and in a final violent confrontation at Gleneagles station he has the opportunity to forcefully put his point of view to the steel boss. This video recording lasts 32 minutes and 25 seconds.
