Brian Cox: Jute Journey airs Tuesday 6 June 2023 on BBC 4.
Dundee is proud to have produced Hollywood star Brian Cox. The city is his life’s primary constant. He was raised in the midst of the bustle of the jute mills, where both of his parents got their start.
Dundee was closely connected to Kolkata through the jute trade, which involved the production of hessian from India’s “golden” fibre. It’s already starting to fade from memory. Following the footsteps of the Dundee jute workers who emigrated to India, this documentary travels through Brian Cox’s childhood and then on to Kolkata.
Brian Cox: Jute Journey airs Tuesday 6 June 2023 at 10.00pm on BBC 4
