John Wilson's The History of Concrete challenges our mundane perception of this building staple. Released in select U.S. theaters, the film takes a quirky dive into the ubiquitous material, exploring its omnipresence in urban landscapes and the quirky industries that have sprung up around it. Wilson's approach is refreshingly unconventional, making the documentary a must-watch for those who can't help but think, 'Do I ever ponder concrete?'

For most of us, concrete is simply a foundational element of our built environment, but through Wilson's lens, it becomes an unexpected lens through which to understand the city and its inhabitants. The film captures the material's ubiquity in sidewalks, buildings, and homes, revealing the eccentric ways it appears on the streets and in the industries that have grown up around it.

Wilson, known for his comedic docuseries How To with John Wilson, brings his unique and whimsical style to this feature. He describes his previous work as 'kind of like that show Planet Earth, except if it was only in New York and David Attenborough was forced to film everything himself.' This self-aware approach adds an extra layer of entertainment to The History of Concrete.

The film serves as a reminder that even the most mundane aspects of our lives can be fascinating when viewed through the right lens. Whether you're a concrete enthusiast or not, The History of Concrete is primed to make you think about the world around you in a whole new way. More details can be found on the movie’s website.
