This short documentary film features Vancouver-based slow clothes artisans and their reasons for creating clothes in a more mindful way. Featuring a First Nations weaver from the Musqueam Nation resurrecting the extinct spinning and weaving practices of her elders, the founders of Maiwa Handprints and the issues of textile skill preservation globally and obstacles they have encountered, and others. While examining the slow clothes production process this film examines Ghandi's key concepts from his powerful Khadi movement which are as vital today facing global issues and climate change as they were in liberating India from British rule in 1947.

Somehow Hopeful is the story of a man committed to a real-life revolution. His greatest ally in this battle is perhaps man's oldest and most reliable teammate - the workhorse. For forty years, Jason Rutledge has been a voice for the natural world and restorative forestry methods. His primary power source is a rare horse breed called the Suffolk Punch. For thousands of years, horses have been critical to the advancement of the human race. Now, horses could once again prove to be a vital asset as we struggle to cope with climate change and restoring our life-giving resources in a world that has become dependent upon destructive machines and irresponsible practices. Shot over the course of seven years, Somehow Hopeful shares the wisdom of man whose methods are now studied around the world. His critics call him a relic of the past. Jason claims he is the future.
