Ming of Harlem: Twenty One Storeys in the Air
Twenty One Storeys in the Air is an only-in-New-York story about Ming, Al, and Antoine Yates, who lived together in a high-rise social housing apartment at the Drew-Hamilton complex in Harlem for several years until2003, when the news of their living arrangements caused a public outcry and collective outpouring of disbelief. Upon learning that Ming weighed 500 pounds and Al stood seven feet tall, their story took on an entirely new dimension. For example, the film frames Yates's memories of Ming and Al with a poetic study of them and a text by philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, which reimagines the wild inside, animal names, strange territories and human-animal relationships.
