Men at Lunch

TIFF 2012 INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE. This remarkable new documentary explores the story behind one of the most iconic images of the twentieth century: the 1932 photograph of workmen taking their lunch while perched on a girder high above New York City. Part homage, part investigation, is the revealing tale of an unprecedented race to the sky and the immigrant workers who built New York. For decades, this image has captivated imaginations the world over. But who are these men? And where did they come from?
