The film follows the artists Christo and Jeanne Claude and they navigate through various meetings, arguments, facing an opposing host of city officials, private representatives, artists, and citizens. Over 20 years later the artists fulfill their hope of creating a shared artwork for the community, the camera capturing the ultimate result and public reactions Event Originally produced by Kino Lorber in 2008 Notes Closed-captioned in English Subject Christo, 1935-2020.
