Tilt, pan, zoom in: Red Road is a film about CCTV and the culture of surveillance we've built around ourselves. Jackie (Kate Dickie) is a camera operator, watching multi-screen footage of life around the tower blocks of Glasgow's Red Road estate. It's dull viewing, until she glimpses a face she recognizes: Clyde (Tony Curran) an ex-con who's intimately tied to her past
