The History of Concrete

Following the finale of his acclaimed HBO series How To with John Wilson, New York documentarian John Wilson turns his attention to the material beneath his feet—and beneath nearly everything else: concrete. The world’s most ubiquitous building material becomes the unlikely protagonist of a sprawling, deeply personal investigation into civilization, architecture, ambition, and the strange history of the stuff that holds our cities together. But when John attends a workshop on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, he decides to apply the industry’s tried-and-true formula to his seemingly drab subject, only to discover that the deeper he digs into concrete, the more his carefully constructed story—and his own foundations—begin to crack.
