Steve Glew spent the 1990s smuggling rare pez dispensers into the USA from Eastern Europe, making millions of dollars. It was all magical until his arch-nemesis, The Pezident decided to destroy him.
"We all know PEZ, those adorable candy dispensers with designs based on pop culture characters. But would you believe that these toys were at the center of a controversy involving smuggling between Eastern Europe and the United States? That's the story told in The Pez Outlaw, a curious and exclusive Netflix documentary awarded at SXSW. It's an incredibly strange story set in the 90s: PEZ, internationally, operated separately from its US branch, resulting in designs released in Eastern Europe that were not available on the American continent. So, one Steve Glew dedicated himself to smuggling exclusive European models to the United States, enriching himself in the process to get his family out of debt... until the PEZ executives noticed. It's a David vs. Goliath story as strange as it is captivating and emotional, which won't change your life, but will certainly keep you entertained."
