FIX-IT SHOPS: An Endangered Species

About this film

Fix-it Shops takes an affectionate look behind the scenes at a small neighborhood business, which repairs small appliances. In this intimate portrait, viewers meet the people whose dedication, patience, and skills contribute to their own community. This form of “recycling” adds significantly to the urban ecosystem by reducing unnecessary waste in landfills.
