Gu 1979, ‘s e glè bheag, film às na h-eileanan, no mu dheidhinn na h-eileanan a tha ann an Tasglann Film Gluasadach ann an Leabharlann Nàiseanta na h-Alba, a chaidh a cruthachadh ach, le filmichean neach-clàraidh bho taobh a muigh na sgìre. Dh’fhàg sin, eadar cinn beachd nan tùsanaich, fiosrachadh nach robh buileach ceart, gun eòlas air an dòigh beatha, cleas romansach agus coimhead sìos air eileanaich, gu robh tric sealladh air beatha nan eilean gun a bhith buileach mar a bha e ann an da-rìreabh.. Thoisich Faodàil airson sin a chur ceart, agus thathas air cruth-digiteach a chur air 25 uair a thìde de film 8mm. Chaidh na filmichean a bha a’ cuimseachadh air an àrainneachd mu na 70an agus na 80an, a clàradh le Anna Dhòmhnallach Chnoc na Luib Uibhist a Tuath.
