Trivia:
'Adrian Roberts (V)' mentioned that the Burning Man organization (Black Rock Limited Liability Corporation) spends tens of thousands of dollars on the Burning Man wooden effigy. The actual budget in the recent years actually reached $200,000 for the figure and its pedestal. It has been a long time criticized spending, which diverts away funds that could be made available to artists. more

An insight into the history, the politics, and the visions that create Burning Man. Excellent footage, interesting interviews, and a well-woven story.
All that I have read about Burning Man omits many of the conflicts that are exposed by this film. Burning Man itself is an exploration of what community can be; for me, the film carried that exploration further. The parts of the film that were annoying were the discoveries of the politics behind Burning Man. Learning about that reframed the event for me (I went for the first time this year, 2009).
I'm looking forward to the DVD; apparently there will be additional footage of the event from back in the day, and more interview footage.
