Synopsis

City of Cranes takes you on a journey high up in the sky, to look at the world through the eyes and words of crane drivers. It is an attempt to understand what becomes of the human spirit in such extreme working conditions; and what emerges is a mesmerising and fascinating insight into a world unnoticed by most of us, yet fundamental to our lives.
