Hearts Across the Sea | The Shetland BusDuring the Second World W...

🎬 Hearts Across the Sea – Coming Friday 25 September

A story of the Shetland Bus, friendship and an extraordinary connection across the North Sea.

During the Second World War, the Shetland Bus created a vital link between Shetland and Nazi-occupied Norway.

Now, Hearts Across the Sea brings that story to life through the living memories of people who remember the Shetland Bus, alongside stories from those closely connected to its history.

Made for the Scalloway Museum and produced by Claire White and Jonathan Bulter, this new 30-minute documentary explores the Shetland Bus from a deeply personal, local perspective – preserving memories that might otherwise be lost.

🎥 WATCH THE FULL FILM – FREE ON YOUTUBE on Scalloway Museum's YT channel
🗓️ Friday 25 September
⏰ 7.00pm

The film will be available to watch worldwide, so we can share this remarkable part of Shetland and Norwegian history which is often forgotten.

This is a story of bravery, courage, and an unbreakable bond across the North Sea.

Hearts Across the Sea
Friday 25 September | 7pm | Free on YouTube

With thanks to Salmon Scotland for part-funding the project.
