The Seaway International Bridge, a US-Canada border crossing connecting Akwesasne to Cornwall was maintained by Mohawks, and is now being dismantled by Mohawks. The crew mourns the loss of their superintendent, and legendary ironworker, Angus Adams who passed away suddenly during the job. But Angus’s legacy remains an inspiration to all who knew him. High winds and strong river currents create some dangerous and unexpected challenges for the ironworkers.
