    A flying octopus. A Trojan horse. Two 100-foot-tall soccer players. All made out of balloons.

    These are just some of the masterful creations you will see as TWISTED: A Balloonamentary takes you right into the heart of Twist and Shout, one of the world's premier balloon twisting conventions. Every year, hundreds of people from around the globe gather at Twist and Shout to compete, take classes, and make jaw-dropping balloon sculptures.

    Exploring how eight balloon twisters' lives are dramatically changed by a little piece of latex, this documentary is about passion, salvation, love, death, race, religion, and a whole lot of balloons. One young woman learns to twist so she can get out of the trailer park and go to medical school. Another character discovers the gospel with balloons and twists to find salvation and move away from a life of crime.

    The documentary, which includes an animated segment narrated by Jon Stewart, tells a story about people who discover that once you can make a balloon dog, you can do anything.

    Directed byNaomi Greenfield, Sara Taksler
