I Always Do My Collars First .is a documentary that delivers an artful and unexpectedly entertaining look at what is often ignored as a mundane chore.

It’s a film about ironing.

The story follows four dynamic Cajun women in French Louisiana as they go about their daily lives demonstrating how the simple ritual of ironing weaves its way throughout the fabric of family life and their sense of identity.

Through first-person narration, the women share with us a rare look at the rich interior life lived by wives and mothers in a traditional culture.
