The 55-minute documentary illuminates Wright’s vision and the painstaking efforts of the restoration artisans to restore Unity Temple back to its original beauty. The historic preservation embraces the community for which it was originally conceived 100 years ago and is a refreshing reminder of the potential glory of a co...mmunity working together for a common good purpose. Five Frank Lloyd Wright sites are proud to be collaborating on this community fundraiser event. Unity Temple, Fallingwater, Taliesin, Taliesin West, and Hollyhock House are all part of The 20th Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright UNESCO World Heritage site. This special preview screening will be available for online rental via the streaming service, VIMEO between Friday, October 30th and Sunday, November 15th, 2020. So grab the popcorn, a glass of wine or your morning coffee and watch at your convenience! View the trailer and preorder the film at www.unitytemplefilm.com.
