About this title

Synopsis

This exceptional portrait of Harvard University takes us to special places inside the campus and its professional schools, providing an intimate view of a legendary American institution. Following the school year, Dunwell captures the changing seasons, the rhythm of studies and exams, and the finale of Commencement. Aerial photographs place Harvard in its urban context alongside the curving Charles River.
