Synopsis
In the centre of Northampton there sits a lift tower – a looming structure watching over the town’s residents and its many workers. Tracing the legacy of his family, who worked in the town’s factories, this craft-led documentary from Jack Orton zooms in on the meditative, repetitive and skilled art of shoemaking, and in the process unearths other events and histories. A birth in the local maternity home; a king who loves shoes; and a person determined to ascend.
