As a lover of literature and film this movie is by far one of my recent favorites.

Father the Flame

For centuries, the tobacco pipe has been a symbol of contentment and contemplation. Through the window of this transcendental artifact and its sacred origins, Father the Flame is a cinematic exploration of legacy, family and love.

Father The Flame follows Lee Erck, a world-renowned pipe maker from far Northern Michigan, as he travels the globe to explore the nearly forgotten art of tobacco pipe making.

Featuring a charming cast of characters—from the royal family of Danish pipe makers, to the Italian briar cutter known as the worldʼs greatest, to a fourth-generation Native American peace pipe maker— this story speaks to a slower pace of life, a luxury in our sped-up world. Beautiful, hypnotic, and contemplative, Father the Flame immerses the viewer in the historical, cultural, and spiritual significance of the tobacco pipe and what it can teach a modern generation about legacy and the things we leave behind.”

The movie is available to watch on Amazon Prime, Google Play, Vudu, Fandango Now and Tubi.
