    Doc

    A decent documentary, one of the many to feature the Burning Man Festival in Black Rock City, Nevada. Every time I see one of these I want to go back to that event. It is also pretty cool when they burn the huge piñata in New Mexico (a different event). Also covered is the first "Re:search" book, and "advanced piercing", which can be a little hard to watch for some viewers. The only gripes I have are that I wish it were longer and more in depth. Also contains some shorts, which I couldn't really watch because the DVD was scratched up so much: "Technopagan", "Burning Man: In Pursuit of the Mystery", and "Matt's Hafada". 7/10 '
