The film is very well done and focuses on the development of the artistic movement starting with interviews of early pioneers and moving on to the new generation that is pushing the envelope. They do cover the DEA operation that destroyed the businesses of several successful blowing shops but the coverage is focused on the impact to the individual owners and the many lampworkers that were suddenly out of a job. It also highlights the tension that exists between the those that believe that somehow items that have a function are a lesser form of, or do not qualify as, art. Amazing how that bias cuts across all artistic media.
