The Truffle Hunters is a documentary style foreign film with subtitles that explores the lifestyles of the 70- and 80-year-old men of Piedmont, Italy, who hunt the rare and expensive white Alba truffle with their close friends, family dogs. (See the movie trailer below.)
Film follows the day and night exploits of several experienced scavengers. Shows the love and frustrations of supplying the cultural and epicurean interests of this delicacy. Features an interesting assortment of colorful local and regional characters fighting the battle to protect personal property rights and hunting sites from those who invade them for community and profit. You'll see why truffles are so expensive.
Offers good insight into one of Europe's finer gourmet food delicacies and the hunt to preserve their heritage. Highly recommended view.
