When our fingers spend more time clicking on things than physically picking them up, what does it mean to be handmade? Documentary I Am Handmade answers this question by diving into the world of craftspeople who sell their creations on Etsy.com. A diverse set of crafters share their amazement that 'complete strangers from the internet' love their silver origami unicorns, quirky hand-painted mugs, and chunky knitwear necklaces enough to part with cash. But, doing what you love isn't as easy as it sounds and being your own boss carries a perverse risk of working yourself to death. I Am Handmade crafters can create everything from life-size Doctor Who pinatas to hand-spun merino yarn. Hand-making their own lives, though, requires hard choices.
