Set to be unveiled in Washington, DC’s Pershing Park on September 13, 2024, the World War I Memorial emerges as the central character in this short documentary.

As the monument takes center stage, the documentary brings forth a rarely seen, intimate portrayal of the relationship dynamics between sculptor, Sabin, and wife, Traci. Sabin's unwavering focus on his masterpiece blurs the boundaries between the professional and personal, casting Traci in multiple roles: partner, producer, muse, and more.
