Making its Canadian premiere, this masterful documentary, bursting with imagination and ideas, features some of the world’s most influential creative minds. In interviews with figures such as David Bowie, Stephen Hawking, Nelson Mandela and Pussy Riot, Vaske attempts to penetrate the mystery behind their creative energy.
