Synopsis

Once producing half of the nation's sugar, the Domino Sugar Refinery was an icon of Brooklyn's industrial waterfront, and operated for over a century in South Williamsburg. By the end of 2014, much of the building will have been demolished for new housing, while the rest will be renovated for commercial use. Two former workers who still live only blocks away return to their days at Domino and visit the now derelict space that was part of their lives for 30 years.
