A classically edited documentary about Scottish documentarian John Grierson. The film follows the entire life path of this significant creator, who is credited with pioneering the concept of a "documentary" as we know it today. From his difficult and visionary beginnings at home in Britain, to his equally groundbreaking and innovative work at the Canadian public production body, the National Film Board of Canada, to the period of post-war North American anticommunist hysteria, which did not spare Grierson – from his youth as a supporter of strongly left-wing views in Western society, which always drove him to work on in-depth portrayals of societal reality. After the war, there was a decline, but this progressive creator eventually received full recognition, albeit later in life.
