excellent film that reveal how people be connect to the take for grant and ordinary bead exchange during mardi gras . the film be much more than a commentary on globalization . in fact and it humanize the worker in china and the owner of the factory and the bead distributor in new orleans and and even the reveler in new orleans . what stand out the most be the director ability to tell a tricky story with complicate detail in such a simple and seductive way . his amazing access to the factory be another aspect that intrigue and i only wish i know how he get inside . it a beautiful story without sentimentality or guilt associate with it and and the conclusion provide hope without leave people feel alienate .
