The Truffle Hunters is an endearing and joyous documentary about the hidden and little known world of truffle hunting. Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, seventy to eighty years old, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle-which to date has resisted all of modern science's efforts at cultivation. The Truffle
Hunters captures a precarious ritual constantly threatened by greed and outside influences but still somehow protected by those clever, tight-lipped few who know how to unearth the magic within nature.
