The Screen Guide

One-paragraph synopsis *Required In the sleepy village of Carrbridge, the annual World Porridge Championships, also known as The Golden Spurtle, ignite excitement as locals and global contenders compete for the prestigious title. This whimsical documentary delves into the idiosyncrasies of village life and the profound significance of the quirky competition. Aging protagonist Charlie Miller, soon to retire, seeks a worthy successor to secure the championships' future and his own legacy. The international attention sparked when an American competitor won in 2009 instilled national pride, especially for Ian Bishop, who reclaimed the title. With the breathtaking Scottish Highlands as a backdrop, this film captures the heartwarming stories of an eclectic cast, celebrating the power of community and the joy and struggles of village life.
