Documentary film Return of a View

Return of a View is a small documentary about a big picture. In 2018 Torild Stray's huge charcoal drawing, "New York Metamorphosis," was brought back to its birthplace, Ground Zero in New York City. 20 years had now passed since it was completed. Or was it really ever completed?
