Inside the Fall of Niagara Falls: America's NY Forgotten Wonder

Niagara Falls was once the most romantic destination in America — the Honeymoon Capital of the World, where Napoleon's brother honeymooned, where Marilyn Monroe filmed a movie, where a million couples a year came to start their lives together. Today, the waterfall is as breathtaking as ever. But the American city built around it has lost half its population, watches tourists cross the bridge to Canada to spend their money, and sits with one of the highest poverty rates in New York State. This is the story of how a city with the world's most famous waterfall in its backyard still managed to lose everything — through industrial collapse, a toxic disaster that poisoned an entire neighbourhood, and decades of watching Canada build the resort town that should have been theirs.
