SYNOPSIS

Documentary telling the story of New York's greatest legend and one of the most iconic images of the 20th century, "Lunch atop a Skyscraper". Part homage and part investigation, this is the story of an American icon, an unprecedented race to the sky and the immigrant workers that built New York. For 80 years, the identity of both the photographer and the 11 men have remained a mystery, and the programme follows the new stories that have been uncovered about the people who were involved.
