★★ · I AM TITANIUM · Spuzz · 2020-01-10

Movie that seems to go on forever about the manufacture of Titanium Pigment for paint and other uses. Sort of a specialized film, right? But yes, we take the voyage from big ol rocks to crushing it down, seperating, washing, grinding etx til it's done! Again, sort of endless. Best part (for me that is) is the severe degradation this film has at the beginning of it.
