Juniper Dreams film synopsis:
Juniper Dreams is a documentary film that explores Alberta’s booming gin scene, following three distilleries over the course of 6-8 months as they compete to win a coveted award at the Canadian Artisan Spirit Awards.
From the forests where juniper and other botanicals are sourced to the struggles of making it big within an ever-changing economy, Juniper Dreams will follow the gin-makers – big and small – as they work with local farmers, grow their following and create exceptional gin worthy of a spot on the podium.
Move over Alberta beef – Gin is here, and it’s elevating Alberta’s reputation as a hub for world-class grains and a feisty entrepreneurial spirit when gin is experiencing a global resurgence and reimagining.
