What was it like to build the Empire State Building? In this AI reconstruction documentary, we colorize and animate the history of 1930s New York City to bring to life the life of the 'Sky Boys.' The lives of the construction workers who constructed the NYC skyline are explored in the context of the Great Depression and the Wall Street Crash of 1929. We imagine the 'Shape Up' at the docks, the 'Hooverville' shanty towns in Central Park, and the dangerous work of the Rivet Gangs and Connectors.
