Alligator Horses is about the cultural climate during this same time period in America, around the time this map would have (mostly) accurately described New York. Stay tuned for updates on the film, which is nearing completion as we speak. Yes, even on Christmas. No rest for the documentary filmmaker, toiling to unearth dark truths about America’s past.
