Overall good doc.

I was hesitant to watch the documentary. I found the title a bit of a put off but I was pleasantly surprise. I really enjoyed the connections between the 20s and today that I would not have ordinarily have made. I really thought the linkages to sexuality, celebrity and modern consumerism interesting .

If anything I would be curious to see a follow up of sorts on some of the trends from the documentary makers perspective.

Overall well produced and interesting and I would recommend it to my students to engage them more into learning about their history and the impact it has had in their day to day life
