"Endangered Threads Documentaries is a small California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation founded in 2004.

"Our goal is to produce educational documentaries recording endangered indigenous art forms, especially those in imminent threat of disappearing due to global economic expansion and the resulting homogenization of cultures. Target viewers are museum audiences, weavers, textile enthusiasts, anthropology teachers, students, travelers and the general public."

Length of the video is 27 minutes. It comes in a plastic DVD case and is NEW and unopened. About this DVD the Endangered Threads website says:

"With brilliant colors and intimate views, textile scholar, author and anthropologist Margot Blum Schevill introduces us to 22 Guatemalan weavers and their weaving styles and techniques. Both traditional back strap weaving for clothing and cloth, as well as floor loom weaving for decorative blankets, ribbons and yardage are included, as is a visit to an ikat or jaspe dye workshop."
