KNIFE SKILLS

40 min

Cleveland’s Edwins restaurant offers world-class French cuisine to patrons and the opportunity to learn Knife Skills for a staff comprised almost entirely of formerly incarcerated men and women seeking a second chance — much like the restaurant’s founder. Anthony Bourdain calls this film “compelling, funny, heartbreaking and thoroughly human.”
