"Laines Paysannes" is a young company based in Ariege, France that collects wool from local sheep breeds to use in hand-woven clothes and rugs. The company is contributing to the revitalization of this old industry in the region, but they are regularly faced with economic difficulties in this ambitious task. Catherine Lafont’s documentary Little Fleece reveals how team members are struggling to continue on a path that is driven by ethical values and a passion for craftsmanship. Creative storytelling marks this mid-length documentary, which follows the team along everchanging routes in their efforts to keep traditional crafts and regional heritage alive.
