The Sidewalks of New York Trailer (Official)

Today I release the second trailer for my documentary The Sidewalks of New York, just in time for Presidents' Day.

The trailer features Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake” finale. After a brief intro where Al Smith can be heard echoing the greatness of New York, the video goes into the tumuluous, yet familiar, time that was the late 1920s. White supremacists marched in front of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. New York City began to rise. The politician, Smith, runs for president.

The entire story is set against the backdrop of the old song “The Sidewalks of New York,” which is still sung by schoolchildren to this day.
