This is exactly what I thought. Why is he in this documentary??? Can he just quit meddling in issues outside of his “profession”

The cinematography and the images of architecture are stunning. However, I warn you that the film intends to put Mr. Foster on an altar and crown him as some sort architectural master. You won’t be surprised when you find out that the whole thing is produced by his wife. Anyway, the movie is really worth watching.
