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 Montréal, 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.

Charpentier du ciel

Centré sur Harold McComber, un Mohawk spécialiste en montage de l'acier, ce film donne une idée de tous les véritables charpentiers du ciel que sont les Autochtones de Kahnawake. La plupart travaillent à la construction des gratte-ciel, à New York, mais la réserve demeure pour eux le lieu de prédilection où ils viennent se retremper dans l'atmosphère de leur enfance et y finir leurs jours.

Nobody Waved Good-bye

A story of teenage conflict--the predicament of a youth who rebels against his parents' middle-class goals and conventions but finds the world, away from home and high school, a cold place to go it alone. Ideals are no defense when the need for money leads to shady practices. This feature film is a study of the sources of delinquency in an affluent society, mirroring many of the problems and frustrations of young people.

Spudwrench - Kahnawake Man

Meet Randy Horne, high steel worker from the Mohawk community of Kahnawake, near Montreal. As a defender of his people's culture and traditions, he was known as "Spudwrench" during the 1990 Oka crisis. Horne was behind the barricades, resisting the efforts of the municipality of Oka to expand a golf course onto sacred Mohawk land. Horne is one of many Mohawk high steel workers who have travelled the continent, working on some of the world's tallest buildings--but have never lost touch with their roots. Spudwrench - Kahnawake Man is both a portrait of Horne and the generations of daring Mohawk construction workers that have preceded him, and a unique look behind the barricades at one man's impassioned defence of sacred territory. The third film in Alanis Obomsawin's series on the events of 1990.
