North Pole, NY

Documentary • NR • Directed by: Ali Cotterill • 69 minutes

North Pole, NY is the story of Santa's Workshop, one of the very first theme parks in the U.S. A rare vintage roadside attraction that pre-dates Disneyland, Santa’s Workshop is a slice of post-war Americana in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. This area was home to a dozen theme parks in the 1950s and 60s, but now, only Santa’s Workshop remains. Battling against a changing economy, the digital world, and a con-man who tries to steal Christmas, North Pole, NY follows the dreamers and super-fans in one small town that vow to keep the park open and the magic of Christmas alive all year.
