What happens

Breadmakers is a short 2007 documentary film, directed by Yasmin Fedda and produced by Jim Hickey and Robin Mitchell. This is a film about a unique Edinburgh bakery, where a community of workers with learning disabilities make a variety of organic breads for daily delivery to shops and cafes in the city. The Garvald Bakery is part of a centre inspired by the ideas of Rudolf Steiner, where the workers realise their potential for self-discovery and creativity in a social environment. Fedda said that she was surprised about the response that the film received. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
