What do Sid Grauman (Grauman's Chinese Theatre), Alexander Pantages (Hollywood Pantages Theatre), and Frederick Trump (Donald Trump's grandfather) have in common?

They all made their fortunes entertaining the gold miners in Dawson City.

DAWSON CITY: FROZEN TIME depicts the unique history of this Yukon town where the gold rush met the silver screen by piecing together a long-lost collection of 533 nitrate film prints from the early 1900s buried in the ice.
