The Cobblers Tale

Synopsis

The cobbler is that rare combination: both individual and architype, both a face and a body. To his customers whose shoes are coming to pieces, he's the man who can fix anything. His shop, located in the middle of Gatesheads Jewish Community, is a mirror that reþects back to the viewer a picture of some of the salient social and psychological processes that underlie our culture.

Director: Tea Smart

Year: 2026

Set in the rolling landscapes of the Cotswolds, a documentary exploring the lives, challenges, and traditions of the farmers who shape this iconic countryside. Through intimate conversations with a new generation and those who have worked the land for decades, the film reveals how farming families are navigating change - from shifting economics and environmental pressures to evolving ideas about land stewardship and community. Rooted in place and guided by the voices of those who live it every day, the documentary offers a rare, personal portrait of modern rural Britain and the people working to sustain both land and livelihood for the future.
