Young Mungo is set Glasgow and follows Mungo as he explores his sexuality and identity. Giving a voice to teenagers during a time where violence, social class, family and queerness were different.
Heartbreaking story and graphic at times but the story was amazing and breaths life into an overlooked point of view.
