I'm very excited to hear about there now being a Handmade Nation DVD!
Faythe Levine wrote a brilliant book of the same title and has now made a documentary, focusing on the rise of d.i.y arts and crafts.
I'm currently writing my dissertation (hence the lack of blog) on the subject of Authenticity, and the role handcrafting plays in a manufactured world, and this would be so so useful if it weren't so costly. I'm very interested in handcrafting, and as a crafter myself, and I'm actually quite enjoying the research, it's all the typing up and theory which is getting to me, and only about a month to go 'till hand in. :/
Still, I'll have a look around, and hopefully it'll be added to my DVD collection quite soon.
