A really entertaining look at the Eames’ legacy of brilliant design, and a very creative, holistic way of looking at the world. We are all richer for their contribution to design, to film, and for the leadership they showed. I especially liked the challenge issued, in Charles Eames’ voice, to rethink what we are doing and how we are doing it. Real progress is what happens when people question the status quo, and ask if we can’t do better.
