Detropia (2013)



Directors: Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady
Run Time: 91 min.

“In 1930 Detroit was the fastest growing city in the world. Today it’s the fastest-shrinking city, with families fleeing every day. That’s one of the sobering facts shared in Detropia, the powerful 2012 documentary about the once-thriving Motor City. Though the economy has affected all of us, what has happened to Detroit is particularly dramatic and shocking.”
