Developed over many years at Freswick Castle, Power & Glory began as a screenplay and stage play by award-winning screenwriter and playwright Murray Watts, who has lived and worked in Caithness for the past thirty years. Over the last year, it has been brought to the screen through a collaboration between Murray and Norman Stone, creator and director of the Emmy Award-winning Shadowlands for the BBC.
The film tells the story of Michael Faraday, one of the greatest scientists of the Electrical Age. Rising from a background of poverty against seemingly impossible odds, he created the first electric motor and dynamo. His ideas influenced Einstein and helped transform the modern world. Alongside this extraordinary achievement is a deeply human story of love, jealousy, prejudice, faith and hope.
Power & Glory will premiere in December 2026
