Canadian Premiere! 

Othmar Ammann left Switzerland in 1904 to redefine the art of bridge-building in America - and went on to design more than half of the eleven bridges that still connect New York City to this day. Beyond Ammann’s life and work, the film focuses on a chapter of contemporary history rarely told from this perspective: the early 20th century, motorisation, urbanisation and a burgeoning consumer society. His bridges remain icons of 20th Century engineering and design.
