In 2006, Antony Gormley was commissioned to make a large figure out of wooden rubbish using volunteers in Margate for the Penny Woolcock film Exodus. Once complete the figure would be burnt to the ground for the film. This documentary short follows the construction and demolition of Gormley's figure.
