Mudder's Hands

About This Movie

Mudder's Hands is a unique documentary that weaves together the warmth of familial bonds and the reality of aging. With Clint Butler at the helm, it dives deep into the ritual of baking Newfoundland raisin bread, and along the way, we hear heartfelt stories about arthritis—not just as a condition, but as a shared experience. The pacing feels almost like a cozy conversation on a rainy afternoon, where the clinking of mixing bowls is as much a part of the story as the spoken word. The atmosphere is rich with nostalgia, and the practical effects are the simple acts of kneading and baking, capturing a living tradition. It’s all about those small moments, the passing of knowledge through generations, and the resilience in the face of life's challenges.
