Mount Rushmore (2002)

The story of Mount Rushmores creation is as bizarre and wonderful as the monument itself It is the tale of a hyperactive temperamental artist whose talent and determination propelled the project even as his ego and obsession threatened to tear it apart It is the story of hucksterism and hyperbole of a massive public works project in the midst of an economic depression And it is the story of dozens of ordinary Americans who suddenly found themselves suspended high on a cliff face with drills and hammers as a Danish sculptor they considered insane directed them in the creation what some would call a monstrosity and others a masterpiece
