A Life's Work
A documentary about taking the long view.
What’s it like to dedicate your life to work that won’t be completed in your lifetime? Fifteen years ago, filmmaker David Licata focused on four projects and the people behind them in an effort to answer this universal question.

Solid documentary about important projects started by people that probably will not be completed in their lifetime. I'm interested in all the topics covered - forest preservation, digital archiving, city/housing planning, and searching for evidence of extraterrestrial life.
