Documentary short focusing on the orphaned cat found in 1931 during the construction of the Empire State Building.

While researching a project involving the Art Deco skyscraper, I came across numerous photos and documents at the ESB library about 'Freddie' and his kinship with the hard working crew and their monumental task. This short work is in memory of their commitment to the American Dream, at the height of the depression era.
