The feature-length documentary about Sam Rodia and the Watts Towers of Los Angeles

“The world is money. No matter who you are, what you are,
you ain’t got a dollar in the pocket, you in the hole…” 

Sam Rodia

“The crane shots lovingly  reveal a poetry of form and detail…”

Les Blank,

“Burden of Dreams

“…fascinating not only for the slice of art history it  exposes, but for the  quotations it includes by  Rodia whose worldview is weird and captivating the whole way through.”
