PRESS
"The Scottish Bounty Hunter (BBC1) was a remarkable film about Christian Matlock, a young man who’d left his hometown of Brechin, in the North East of Scotland to go and work in another of the strange niches of the US justice system. Matlock was a bounty hunter, pursuing people who’d skipped bail for a commission. With his shades and his muscles, trimmed beard and Brechin growl, he seemed like a very hard man. At the same time he couldn’t help noticing how much of his work was a by-product of heroin. "

"The film delves below the stereotype of a Bail Enforcement Agent to show the unique relationships he builds with some of the people he comes across, from offenders with drug addiction to their families striving to get back to a normal life."
