Discover the forgotten story of one of the world's great public hospitals in this documentary from filmmaker Lorie Conway. In the shadow of The Statue of Liberty, twenty-two state-of-the-art buildings were constructed from rock and dirt excavated during the building of the New York subway.

Produced in conjunction with a companion book of the same name. Jason Buchanan, Rovi
