With These Hands: The Story of an American Furniture Factory
In 2007, unable to compete with cheaper offshore production, Hooker Furniture Co. closed its plant in Martinsville, Virginia, after 83 years in operation. With These Hands follows the last load of wood down the assembly line as it is cut, honed, and assembled into fine furniture. Along the way, employees at the factory share their perspectives on work, community, and survival in a country devastated by de-industrialization and outsourcing.

Fresh and Exciting
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
