Beneath the sands of Brooklyn, Dead Horse Bay is a massive time capsule of New York City’s industrial past. This documentary examines how a pristine marshland became a municipal dumping ground—revealing rotting remains of 19th-century horses, millions of discarded household artifacts, the "Barren Island War," the forced removal of immigrant communities by Robert Moses, and the discovery of radioactive military waste that led to the beach being sealed off by the federal government.
