DIRECTED BY KIRSTEN DICKERSON

HANDMADE FUTURE follows artisans in six countries who preserve heritage, navigate the complex role of middlemen, and advance responsible trade—pushing back against fast, cheap production to quietly restore a frayed world through beauty and human connection. From rug weavers in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains and block printers in India’s Golden Triangle to Appalachian broom makers in Kentucky and recycled-glass blowers in Kenya, the film showcases craftspeople whose work carries generations of skill, culture, and creativity. (1 hour, 23-minutes followed by q&a with filmmakers Kirsten and Brandon Dickerson)
