LOCATION: 31st Ave between 37th and 38th street, Queens
DESCRIPTION: This short film on "pigeon man" Sam Sopchek was inspired
by the film "Paul Tomkowicz: Street-railway Switchman," by Roman Kroitor, Stanley Jackson, and Tom Daly, which was part of the National Film Board of Canda's "Faces of Canada" series. This is a "portrait of those unsung, unnoticed people who keep the community running".
