Men at Lunch: The Story of the Irish in New York City

Men at Lunch 
Director Seán Ó Cualáín, an accomplished documentary director for both TG4 and RTÉ in Ireland, comes to DOC NYC for the US premiere of his newest work, Men at Lunch. The film tells the story of the iconic 1932 photo of workmen sitting on a girder at the 69th floor of Rockefeller Center, calmly having their lunch. He uses the photo to explore the larger story of the immigrant (and often Irish) workers who built New York.
