Through intimate, observational storytelling, the film explores how character is forged by dangerous work, economic uncertainty, and a deep connection to place. As these men carry on their trades, they reflect on labor unions, shifting markets, and the fragile future of industries that once defined Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Blending present-day footage with historic photographs of early mining and logging, Good Man in the Woods captures a disappearing way of life and the resilience of those determined to carry it forward.
