The documentary 'Skin of Glass,' directed by Denise Zmekhol, highlights the legacy of Brazilian architect Roger Zmekhol's iconic building, Pele de Vidro, completed in 1968. Featuring interviews with residents and architectural experts, the film examines the building's modern design and cultural importance in Brazil. Denise, who lost her father at a young age, seeks to connect with his legacy as she explores the lives of the squatters now inhabiting this once-grand structure. The film premieres on PBS, shedding light on architectural history and personal memory.
We were proud to work in such a beautiful place. No other building was as modern.
I thought it would be fascinating to tell the stories of the people living in the building and try to find my father.
