While this documentary is not rated, it would likely be given an “R” rating if it were assigned for some images later on in the film. That is a bit of a shame because this explosion artist’s ability to paint canvases in the sky with fireworks and create large-scale images with ignited gunpowder is amazing to witness. But it is his largest installation, the 500-meter lighted recreation of Jacob’s ladder connecting the earth to heaven, that is the centerpiece of the film. Really inspiring to watch.
