Arizona Public Media presents this preview of a half-hour documentary that follows the journey of the Retablo which survived earthquakes, war, trans-Atlantic voyages, years of storage in a bunker during WW II and restoration to come to the University of Arizona Museum of Art. Produced by Sooyeon Lee Johnston.
