Pray focuses on a posse of mavericks who revolutionized the industry with highly creative, convention-busting work, including Lee Clow (creator of iconic spots for Apple), Rich Silverstein and Jeff Goodby (“Got Milk?”), Hal Riney (everything from Bartles & Jaymes to Ronald Reagan), Dan Wieden and David Kennedy (Nike), George Lois (“I Want My MTV”), and May Wells (“I [Heart] New York”).
