Two years in the making, JIG, was funded by BBC Scotland and Creative Scotland. It was the first time the controlling body of competitive Irish dance had ever allowed an outsider to film this fiercely competitive world.
Sue Bourne discovers wonderfully diverse characters of all ages from the United States, Holland, England, Ireland, Scotland and Russia performing in what is a hot bed of dedication, hard work, obsession and passion. When it comes to the final competition, the rivalry between the contestants escalates as the film reaches its nail-biting climax.
