CHARLES LUNEY - MASTER BUILDER | 60minute Documentary Film

Charles Luney, started his business in 1926; responsible for building the Christchurch Town Hall, The Hospital and most of the major structures in the Old City of Christchurch, New Zealand. He was an enigma, a man born during the depression who shaped a city and lived to 101.

 
CS Luney (1905-2006)

Filmed over 10 years the documentary is a frank exploration of a Master Builders 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.
Narrated by John Coley author of "Charles Luney the Building of a Lifetime"

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.
