Documentary telling the story of New York's greatest legend and one of the most iconic images of the 20th century - Lunch Atop a Skyscraper.

Tha "Dealbh sna Speuran" ag innse sgeulachd neo-aithnichte New York, sgeulachd mu aon de na h-矛omhaighean a b' ainmeile san fhicheadamh linn - Lunch atop a Skyscraper - dealbh a chaidh a thogail air an seasgad 's a naodhamh l脿r dhen togalach Rockefeller anns an fhoghar, 1932.

Tha an dealbh, a chaidh a ghabhail aig 脿m togail an Togalaich GE, a' sealltainn aon duine deug nan suidhe gu socair, a' gabhail l貌n air crann-st脿ilinn ochd ceud gu leth troigh os cionn cabhsair Sr脿id 41. Tha an sgeulachd seo ag innse mun chabhaig a bh' ann na speuran a' ruighinn agus cuideachd mun luchd-obrach in-imriche a thog New York.

Airson ochdad bliadhna bha f猫in-aithneachadh nam fear agus an dealbhadair air a dh矛on, gun fhios c貌 iad agus c貌 as a th脿inig iad. Ged a bha na sgeulachdan air chall airson iomadach bliadhna, tha am pr貌gram seo a' leantainn na tha air a thighinn am follais mu na daoine a bh' anns an dealbh ainmeil seo.

Men at Lunch is the untold story of New York's greatest legend and one of the most iconic images of the 20th century - Lunch atop a Skyscraper - taken on the 69th floor of the Rockefeller Building in the autumn of 1932.

The iconic photograph, taken during the construction of the GE Building, depicts 11 workmen taking their lunch break while casually perched along a steel girder - boots dangling 850 feet above the sidewalk of 41st Street. Part homage and part investigation, Men at Lunch is the story of an American icon, an unprecedented race to the sky and the immigrant workers that built New York.

For 80 years, the identity of the 11 men - and the photographer that immortalized them - remained a mystery. This programme follows the new stories that have been uncovered about the people who were involved in this renowned photograph.
