A film, set in New York City, about a Black child who lives and plays in a devastated neighborhood, all the while imagining that a grubby subway has become a sleek silver train that he commands. Contrasting shots show the "other" New York, the Central Park boat lake, the zoo, and children with cotton candy. Without dialog. (NYPL catalog)
