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.

About as riveting as you can expect a documentary on denim to be (pardon the pun!). It does however give you an interesting viewpoint that is factual but most wouldn't know because no one researches the history of jeans in their spare time. It does challenge some of your preconceived subconscious notions to broaden your perspective; which is what the other reviewers are alluding to. However, as evidenced, many people are uncomfortable being challenged intellectually these days. Worth a watch.

This episode is about jeans. However, the history of the product is not especially lengthy and it seemed that it was difficult to fill the hour with this. So, the show talked about a lot of cultural changes and tied jeans to them. Oddly, however, the show never talked much about Levi Strauss and rival denim companies. Instead, it seemed as if the show used it as a way to talk about other things, such as racism or egalitarianism.

This episode seemed to be quite padded. After all, these are just jeans! And, as such, it was enjoyable but not especially deep or life-changing! Well worth seeing but also one that if you skip it you won't exactly miss much.
