City of Steel - Complete Documentary Film by Bruce Spiegel

City of Steel is a 90-minute documentary film about the rise and fall of the steel industry in the greater Pittsburgh area. For over 100 years, people, communities and neighborhoods in and around Pittsburgh were directly linked to steel mills. It was a way of life passed on from generation to generation and it cut across cultural and ethnic boundaries. It has substantially disappeared from the American landscape. Like many past documentaries produced by Bruce Spiegel, this film is very authentic. It is rooted in the stories of people who lived through a very dramatic time. The steel industry was once the back bone of the manufacturing sector within the United States. Because of forces beyond the control of the people, it rapidly disappeared from the American landscape.
