Joy can sometimes feel like a limited resource, but not for Sighle Williams, who served as a beloved employee at Mac’s Drive-Thru in Gainesville, Florida, for 37 years. She made her mark on each customer at the local burger spot, and when Williams shares that she is ready for retirement, an idea for an unexpected celebration mobilizes generations of patrons.

One Last Order is a portrait of Williams as she looks back at her tenure at Mac’s, capturing her last moments behind the window she commanded for more than three decades. Take a look at an exclusive clip from the documentary short above.
