Buckminster Fuller was the Leonardo da Vinci of our times. He asked:If success or failure of this planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do... How would I be? What would I do? Filming ove one year tells the story of the man who revolutionized how we think and how we design:The story The 4D Dymaxion Transport, and the history beyond.
