Told via interviews with former students, Daria-style animation and a performance from Alan Cumming... McLeod intricately presents the fabric of school life in the early ’90s.

Intressant story men lite väl utdragen. Lite synd att stora delar är tecknade.

Frequently asked questions

What is My Old School about? Toggle content

My Old School is a documentary/animation hybrid film that tells the incredible true story of Brandon Lee, a seemingly normal school pupil who joined a Glasgow school in 1993. But there was a shocking twist - Brandon was actually a 30-year-old man named Brian MacKinnon, who had been expelled from medical school and was trying to re-enter the educational system to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor. The film uses interviews with MacKinnon's classmates and teachers, as well as animated recreations voiced by professional actors, to tell the story of how MacKinnon was able to fool everyone for so long. The film also explores the reasons behind MacKinnon's deception and the consequences of his actions. My Old School is a fascinating and entertaining film that raises questions about identity, ambition, and the human desire to reinvent oneself. It's a must-see for anyone interested in real-life stories and the power of human imagination.
