Intelligent Hands: Death of the Craftsmen

This documentary celebrates five master craftspeople from around the world, from a jeweller in Mumbai to a guitar-maker in New York and a bag-maker in Moscow. It follows their painstaking work and the deep knowledge behind their hands, while asking whether such skills can survive in a mass-produced age. Through their stories it reflects on tradition, artistry and the quiet dignity of making things by hand. Absorbing and elegiac, it honours crafts at risk of disappearing.
