Adam Visher is an Iraq war veteran who picked up an unusual hobby while in the army: knitting. He hid his pastime from his fellow soldiers because, as he says, they would rather he be drinking and wooing women than making a sweater. Adam was lonely and also drinking a lot, until he found a local yarn store and a community of women who took him in. Independent producer Lygia Navarro shares his story.
