On a hill
"Holes in My Shoes"....the biographical/documentary of the life of then 94 year old Jack Beers. Amazing man. A few of his accomplishments that were long forgotten:
A commendation from President Roosevelt.
Received the highest civilian medal given from the war department for shortening WWII.
Placed the top piece onto the Empire State Building.
Designed/built portions of Radio City Hall, Macy Building, Empire State Building and scores of others...and that is only half of what this man accomplished in his life.

All with only a 6th grade education.

It is on Netflix.
