Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision

          A film which elaborates the career and of a young Chinese American architect, Maya Lin.
          It commenced with an existing start of her career as an architect with the designing and creation of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in the United States.
          This film focused on the arguments that surrounded the architectural design of the War Memorial. This elegant design, a national memorial honors U.S. service members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War and all other issues circulating the war.
           Maya Lin then goes to embark on the creation of several other special pieces including the memorial for Slain Civil Rights workers, a house, the Civil Rights Fountain Memorial commemorating women at Yale City, and a variety of sculptures including a self - portrait made in lead and beeswax.
           Despite the controversies surrounding her design and creation, Maya Lin goes through a fascinating process of turning her "strong clear vision" into substantive form.
