It also chronicles her maturation from a very young, enthusiastic 20-year old artist who, just for a lark, submitted her winning entry in the national contest for would-be designers of the monument, to a mature and articulate artist. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

It's not the most intriguingly made doc, but Maya Lin's work is pretty interesting. Especially the Vietnam Veterens memorial she created at the age of twenty and the initial controversy surrounding it.
