The story

Exploring Fuller's invention of the Geodesic Dome and its innovative structural system, the documentary also examines Fuller's early heavy drinking, expulsion from Harvard University and suicide attempt. In 1927, after Fuller had lost his 4-year daughter due to Polio and had lost his job, he contemplated drowning himself in the freezing waters of Lake Michigan. Fuller reported an "intense mystical experience" realizing he belonged to the universe and could not take his own life.
