To create the Japanese drink of saké as it’s been made for centuries, a small group of passionate laborers channel time and the elements at a 144-year-old family-owned brewery in northern Japan. This contemplative, award-winning film chronicles a year in the life of close-knit individuals who remain steadfast in the face of modernity. The Birth of Saké is as beautifully crafted as the artisanal drink it profiles.

Director – Erik Shirai
