Through candid interviews and behind-the-scenes footage of the syrup being made using unique improvised methods, A Dying Art takes viewers into the fast-disappearing world of the sugar shack. A Dying Art is set against the declining socio-economic climate of small mid-western towns such as Galien, where the population is dwindling and the townsfolk must bond over common interests to strengthen their sense of community.
