Summary: A series of four short films developed for the Glasgow Centre for Population Health’s (GCPH) Understanding Glasgow website. The films entitled Working Men, A Sense of Place, Young Mums and Bolting Doors, Mending Fences were commissioned to reflect people’s lived experiences and to let them tell their stories. Bolting Doors, Mending Fences introduces us to Alex who moved to Renfrew from Pollock when his family needed a larger house. His story takes us from when his family moved, how his close was used for drugs use, as a short-cut to the scheme behind and how he changed this by getting a door fixed, adding a bolt and ……getting a Rottweiler. He talks about deciding to fix up his garden and how people had said it would be destroyed by the local kids but it was the local kids who started helping him out. His story shows us how everyday things help a community; the fish pond, talking to people, Christmas and the Santa-Sleigh, just being there to help kids fix their bikes. He talks about people’s perceptions, fears and letting kids be kids.
