Take One: Action! is the UK's first major film festival all about people and movies that are changing the world. The festival celebrates Scotland's global connections - from South Africa to Nicaragua - and explores global challenges in which Scotland has a vital role to play - from climate change to the rules about how poor nations trade.

The programme features new and classic films, director and campaigner Q&As, audience discussions, video-making workshops and special events for schools. Above all, it is a unique chance for audiences to find out about and get involved with the work of Scottish change-makers - including film activists and environmental and social justice organisations.
