Charles Luney: Master Builder

Charles Luney started his business in 1926; responsible for building the Christchurch Town Hall, Princess Margaret Hospital, Christchurch Public Library, Park Royal Hotel, Westpac Trust Centre and most of the major structures in Christchurch, New Zealand. He was an enigma, a man born during the depression who shaped a city and lived to 101 (1905-2006). Filmed over 10 years, the documentary is a frank exploration of a Master Builder's philosophy for life. An argument for a life lived well, Charles Luney proves that there are certain fundamentals to life and ignoring those certainties is a recipe for an unhappy and unfulfilled life. Respected, and looked up to by many, Charles Luney leaves a lasting and fruitful epitaph to a life well lived, by a man who found his purpose in life. Narrated by John Coley, author of 'Charles Luney: The Building of a Lifetime'.
