Glass - A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts

Synopsis: In July 2005, Scott Hicks started shooting a documentary about the composer Philip Glass to celebrate his 70th anniversary in 2007. Over the next 18 months, Hicks followed Philip across three continents and was given unprecedented access to Glass’ working process, family life, spiritual teachers and long time collaborators. The film provides a unique glimpse into the life of a surprising, complex and at times controversial man.
