Very comprehensive look at the gaudy plastic ornamentation that has come to symbolize Mardi Gras and is the currency of choice for mammarian displays of pre-Lent revellers. The director walks a fine line between information gathering and casting a critical eye. The film could as easily be a celebration of the success of global manufacturing as an expose of human rights abuses by the penny-pinching benefactors of cheap Chinese labor. There is some great industrial machinery footage of beads being churned out(check out Manufactured Landscapes for even more awe-inspiring industrial scenes). The working conditions and mind numbing repetition are horrendous. The capricious rules and punishments of the Chinese factory owner make high-school principals look like anarchistic free-spirits. Just because there is no ready solution to the inequities of globalization, doesn't mean Mardi Gras goers shouldn't have a better understanding of beads even amidst their oblivious drunken stupors. Bead Companies, come on man.

Probably the best documentary I have ever seen--interesting, informative, but the filmmaker allows you to form your own opinion about the subject, which is great (I find that many documentaries are way too "in your face" and therefore obnoxious). Keep your eyes open for the part with the priest... hilarious!

Since I lived in New Orleans for several years, I was really excited to see this documentary. This documentary showed, with one example of the production of Mardi Gras beads, why the USA is seriously losing its grip on reality, and on the world economy.

I viewed this film over five years ago and it's still lodged in my memory every time I go and purchase any product. If a film can have that sort of impact on me, it deserves 5 stars automatically.

Smart, witty look at the human cost of free-market reforms and globalization.
