Episode synopsis
Episode 2 is set in the American metropolis - the soaring new cities of the East Coast with their futuristic skylines and lofty skyscrapers. Instead of looking up at the futuristic towers, Waldemar explores the squalid boxing rings painted by George Bellows all the way to the harsh immigrant experience of Ellis Island and the profound impact that rootlessness had on the art of Mark Rothko.
