The Rocket Post is a moving tale of how a remote Scottish community on the Hebridean island of Scarp became enchanted by a dashing German scientist and his plans to link them to the outside world via a rocket postal service during the late 1930s. He struggles to assemble his new invention while the quirky inhabitants look on with a combination of humor, skepticism and distrust. But just when things might come together, the scientist is pressured by his fatherland to assist with its preparation for war. Beautifully written with breathtaking cinematography. Based on a true story. Written by James MacInnes and William Morrissey. Produced by Mark Shorrock. Cinematographer: Richard Greatrex. Courtesy of Kathy Morgan International.
