They have become a staple of clothing the world over, worn by everyone from presidents and supermodels to farmers and artists. More than just an item of apparel, America’s tangled past is woven into the indigo blue fabric. From its roots in slavery to its connection to the Wild West, youth culture, the civil rights movement, rock and roll, hippies, high fashion and hip-hop, jeans are the canvas on which the history of American ideology and politics is writ large.

An Honest look at an American mainstay

I'm not sure why people find a factual look at history so uncomfortable. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. It is clear in modern times that history has always been told by those in power. The poor have long been unable to tell their side of the story. I find a fresh re-examining of things that we've all taken for granted quite refreshing. And finding out new information, and having what I thought I knew challenged, is exactly why I watch documentaries in the first place.

Entertaining facts if you're curious minded

I watched this with my granddaughter. We were both wearing blue jeans and were equally curious as to why the younger generation would want to wear anything remotely similar to seniors garb. We laughed and learned things we didn't know about jeans and each other. I was not allowed to wear "farmer pants" until my Mom found them stylish. That was hilarious to me and even more so to my granddaughter. They could have started with the early cowboy generation to not strike a nerve with some sensitive people but facts are facts. I don't know that anything in this documentary has been disputed. We enjoyed the flashbacks.
