I keep hearing about a documentary from the 1970s called "Glass India" - about glass blowing in India. Does anyone know where to buy it or download it?

Best answer: Was it definitely from the 1970s? Could it have been actually, or re-, released in 1991? If so, the DVD described here could be what you're looking for.

Response by poster: Thanks Knile, I think that is the one I have been looking for. Now that I know who made it and when, it should be easier to track down.

Best answer: I talked to my glass-librarian mother and she informed me that there is indeed such a movie as you're looking for, from the 1970s. You can use the Ask a Librarian page that the Corning Museum of Glass library offers to inquire further. If you have access to Corning, you could watch it AT the library, but other options may be a lot less likely. Good luck!
