There is a great beauty in that which comes from the Earth.
There is a permanence and a deep sense of strength that has fascinated
Man since the beginning of time.
He took these boulders and rocks, and cut them and shaped
them. He took shells from the sea and adorned himself. And thus
began a connection as old as the Earth itself.
Beads are everywhere. They are a part of our global history.
They transcend culture and continent. Every society has an ancient
link with beads, be it for religious, ornamental, or healing purposes.
The Bead Movement is a beautiful one hour documentary that
chronicles Man's link with the oldest of artforms. Among other
segments, come see how beads are made; the designers who create
them; and a sense of permanence, connection and peace that beads
bring.
