Philly's Mad Muralist

The story of Isaiah Zagar is lovingly portrayed by his son, Jeremiah, in the documentary film, In A Dream.  It's shocking, heartbreaking, colorful, filled with life and all its intricacies... and inspiring in its own special way.  Jeremiah skillfully captured not only his father's art, but the depths of his mother, as well as his brother's recovery from drug addiction and all the struggles they went through.

Over the past four decades, Isaiah Zagar has covered more than 50,000 square feet of Philadelphia with stunning mosaic murals. "In A Dream" is a documentary feature film that chronicles his work and his tumultuous relationship with his wife, Julia. It follows the Zagars as their marriage implodes and a harrowing new chapter in their life unfolds.
