'Little Ditch: The Black River Canal' tells of the trials and elation of the engineering marvel that let boats sail over a mountain and move the raw materials that helped build the Empire State.  It was, as one local described it, “the life of the valley.”

​

The film weaves together historical accounts and compelling personal views to gain new insight and feeling toward the life and times of the “canawlers.”
