In 1982, French President Mitterand declared that the old, notorious Bastille prison would be transformed into an ultra-modern opera for the people and awarded the project to Canadian architect, Carlos Ott. Building Bastille is a feature length documentary that tells the comic, dramatic and tangled story of modern history’s greatest case of mistaken identity and seized opportunity.
