In the early 1980s, a voice in a dream told Alison Hastie to make shoes - shaping a life and career that would span four decades. Rooted on Dartmoor and the radical traditions of the West Country, her story weaves together craft, feminism, community and resilience.
From co-founding Green Shoes to navigating personal and professional highs and lows, this is a powerful reflection on creativity, independence, and what it means to live - and work - differently in a mass-produced world.
