The world premiere of a raw and intimate feature-length documentary which examines the life and legacy of Sir Alex Ferguson, will be shown at the Glasgow Film Festival.
Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In examines the life and legend of one of the greatest football managers of all time, filmed whilst recovering from a traumatic brain haemorrhage and directed by his son Jason.
Sir Alex Ferguson and Jason Ferguson will also take part in an exclusive digital Q&A, access to which will be available to all ticket holders.
The film festival has also announced two UK premieres and an array of high-profile guests, ahead of its online addition which is running from February 24 to March 7.
The festival will host UK premieres of Tina and Kelly Reichardt’s First Cow on March 5.
Tina is a revealing and intimate exploration of the iconic Tina Turner’s life and career – a woman who overcame extreme adversity to define her career, identity, and legacy on her own terms.
Kelly Reichardt’s First Cow is a beautiful and moving depiction of brotherhood, in the Pacific Northwest amidst authentically hardscrabble early nineteenth century life.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
