Synopsis: Christo is world-renowned artist who specializes in doing the impossible: stringing a quarter-mile orange curtain across a Colorado valley, constructing a 24-mile fence of white nylon in California and, in this film, surrounding Miami’s eleven Biscayne Bay islands with bright pink material. The Rumanian-born artist and his wife and cohort, Jeanne-Claude Christo, inevitably run into hostile local bureaucrats who attempt to thwart their projects at every turn. The ensuing confrontation is often funny and engaging. And after endless committee hearings, behind-the-scenes string-pulling and creative politics on everyone’s part, Christo gets the go-ahead.

Awards: 1987: Sundance Film Festival: Nominated for Grand Jury Prize (Documentary)
