Handmade in Hull is a multi award-winning documentary for the BBC.

The film profiles artisans and skilled workers whose expertise once put the city of Hull on the map in Britain's industrial heyday; from the compass-maker whose precision-crafted instruments helped steer Hull's fishing fleet, to boat builders and woodcarvers; all reflect on the joys of their craft and its role in the city's past and future.
