The documentary chronicles the late Samuel Mockbee, who was an artist, architect, educator, and the founder of Rural Studio. The film explores his efforts to provide students with an experience that inspires them to use their skills to better their communities.
Through the viewing of the film, architects on the Big Island hope to generate public discussion about design in Hawai’i.
