Ming of Harlem: Twenty One Storeys in the Air

Ming of Harlem: Twenty One Storeys in the Air is a documentary film that explores the extraordinary story of Ming, Al, and Antoine Yates, who lived together in a high-rise social housing apartment in Harlem. The film delves into the discovery that Ming was a 500-pound tiger and Al a seven-foot alligator, and how this revelation led to a public outcry. It frames Antoine Yates's recollections through a poetic study of the two predators, incorporating philosophical text by Jean-Luc Nancy.
