Those who dream the "American Daydream" don‘t dream of going from rags to riches. They are dreaming up their own reality. And they are making them real through their arts. They are following their callings - no matter what the world may think of them.
In this DVD four of those artists are portrayed:
Mary Nohl - The Witch of Foxpoint; Doctor Evermor and his miraculous time machine, the Forevertron; Grandma Prisbrey‘s Bottle Village; and Leonard Knight‘s Salvation Mountain.
In love with creativity, Mary Nohl turned her house and garden into art. Her secluded life and eccentric sculptures earned her the moniker "The Witch of Foxpoint".
