Philanthropist Basil Sellers and artist Terrance Plowright have come together to create an impressive, multi-million-dollar public sculpture that is symbolic of Australia’s Indigenous and migrant heritage. Basil intends to donate the work to Australia as a gift. However, in a world where public art is both lauded and mocked, what begins as a twelve-month project escalates to a ten-year roller coaster ride. Both artist and philanthropist are pushed to their limits emotionally, artistically, and financially, as many obstacles threaten to derail their good intentions. At the close of the documentary, the sculpture, titled Uniting a Nation is awaiting a final location in South Australia.
