If You Build It is a 2013 documentary directed by Patrick Creadon,[1] produced by Neal Baer, and filmed on location largely in the town of Windsor and surrounding Bertie County, North Carolina, the state's poorest county.[2]
The documentary follows a year in the life of an innovative, design-based high school program, culminating with the design and sixteen-week construction of a farmer's market pavilion, the only farmers market pavilion in the U.S. designed and built by high school students.[3]
The film's title is a truncated reference to the catchphrase "if you build it, he will come" from the 1989 film Field of Dreams.[4]
