America’s Stairway: Experience the Documentary

America’s Stairway: World Premiere

The filming of America’s Stairway is complete, and we cannot wait to share this documentary with the world this September in partnership with the 200th anniversary of the Erie Canal’s opening. In addition to the in-person premiere in September, this brand-new documentary will be airing on Buffalo Toronto Public Media in October.

There is still time to donate and help ensure that this documentary is distributed nationally so everyone has the opportunity to experience America’s Stairway. Help us share our story!

Every dollar donated plays a major role in helping share this momentous story in a brand-new way.
