Mhairi Black: Being Me Again
2025 · 58 min · Documentary
Former Member of Parliament Mhairi Black talks politics, neurodiversity and stand-up comedy in this very personal film.
When 20-year-old Mhairi Black was elected to be the member of parliament for Paisley and Renfrewshire South in 2015, she became the youngest person since the Reform Act of 1832 to take a seat in the House of Commons. As if that wasn’t enough, the man she pipped to the post was former foreign secretary Douglas Alexander. She won hands down, beating him by almost 6,000 votes, and all before she had even completed her politics degree at Glasgow University. In this highly personal film, Mhairi talks about her life in depth as never before. As well as exclusive interviews with her wife Katie and father Alan, we go behind the scenes at the House of Commons and as she steps on stage for the first night of her sell-out stand-up show, Politics Isn’t for Me, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
