High Steel

Owen, Don, (film director.). Biggs, Julian, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: A dizzying view of Manhattan in the 1960s, the tallest town in the world, and the men who work cloud-high to keep it growing. They are the Kanienkehaka (Mohawk) of Kahnawake, near Montrǎl, famed for their skill in erecting the steel frames of skyscrapers. The film shows their nimble work, high above the pavement, but there are also glimpses of the quieter community life of the old Kahnawake Reserve.
