THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS

84 min

The white Alba truffle is the most expensive–and elusive–ingredient in the world. Found only in the forests of Northern Italy, its secrets have been guarded for generations by a select group of older Italian men and their canine companions: the truffle hunters. Filmmakers Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw enter their singular world, discovering truly one-of-a-kind characters–and some unforgettable dogs–in this affectionate, beautifully shot, and precisely paced observational portrait that will make viewers long to travel to Piedmont themselves.
