That documentary completely changed my outlook of life as well.

I was a somewhat lost teenager when I saw it, who saw no value in working hard for something and at the same time was terrified of living a life that was irrelevant in the big picture.

After watching it, it somehow all clicked for me. Both the pride and pleasure that can be taken out of perfecting a craft, and the idea that even the most apparently irrelevant aspect of life can be perfected and improved.

I am not exaggerating if I say that without watching it I might not have got my shit together in time to be who I am now.
