People have been fascinated with fireworks for over 1,000 years. No longer just for holidays and momentous celebrations, the fireworks of today can be seen everywhere from the ballpark to the backyard. Join host George Plimpton as he tours the world to learn the history of these luminous explosions, the technology behind them, and the future of pyrotechnics. Go behind the scenes to see how fireworks are manufactured in China, Japan, England, and India. See some of the most complex pyrotechnic choreography at Walt Disney World, Florida, where the first fireworks missile launcher shoots mortars 2,000 feet in the air and detonates by remote control. Visit the amazing Denali festival in India and meet the Gruccis, the first family of fireworks. There are "oohs" and "ahs" aplenty in this entertaining and informative video. ~ Heather M. Fierst, Rovi
