(Synopsis)

The buildings of Francis Kéré, who works in Burkina Faso with the communities for which they are intended, seek to address issues ranging from poverty to climate change, often using a mix of low- tech and high design. The film presents a multi-perspective format that invites the viewer to reflect on the places, people and structures that make Kéré’s work so valuable.
