Art and Craft: I believe this was a documentary, it was interesting, I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. It follows a man who forges masterworks of art and then gives them to museums at originals. Apparently it's not illegal, which is interesting. It also follows the man who discovered the deception. The forger is a quite little man with schizophrenia and a number of other mental health issues.  I don't know how ethical it is for the forger to do what he does, but I also am not so sure about the other side. It ended with the forger taking his skills to a new venue, reuniting people with their stolen paintings...which is again maybe not on solid moral ground but very sweet.
