‘I hoped to convey a window into wright’s mind, beyond the often repeated autobiographical mainstream material, so that we could better understand wright’s guiding philosophy and intent that his buildings reflect the people who use them,’ comments filmmaker lauren levine. ‘it was important to capture both the tremendous task and details of the restoration itself as well as the spirit, diversity and commitment of the congregation who continue to bring the building to life.’
