Trying to find the full version.
 
Man this video is so true. I would love to go back in time to see Detroit in its hay day. When I was down there for Autorama I was just so depressed to see how much of a shithole it is becoming. But I still do like going down there to see the city. I always go on the people mover every time I go down there just to check out the city.

Mike Itchue | MLive.comThe Spirit of Detroit statue. A BBC documentary called 'Requiem for Detroit?' will look at the rise and fall and possible rising again of Detroit.A documentary about the rise and fall of Detroit will air later this month on the British Broadcasting Corporation.

The summary of "Requiem for Detroit?" says it will look at the "roller coaster story of the city’s automotive industry through the testimony of the people who lived through it."

The 75-minute film was produced by Films of Record, a television production company known for taking on difficult social issues, and it was directed by Julien Temple.


December 2, Films of Record: Powered by extraordinary archive – vivid projections of the city’s heyday on it’s now abandoned buildings – and the irrepressible music that continues to come out of Detroit, from ragtime and rap to techno, the documentary will chart the rise and fall of the ‘Big Three’, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, and the impact the decline of these giants has had on the city.

More like born in the 30s or 40s. If you were born in the 50s or 60s, you would have witnessed the transformation of a shithole from start to finish. Detroit was in its prime during the middle 60s and before. My mom has told me stories of having a police escort take her to work during the riots.
 
Detroit might be a shithole but Michigan as a whole is a beautiful state. The only other state I would consider moving to is Alaska.

A documentary about the city of Detroit by filmmaker Julien Temple (The Filth and the Fury, Glastonbury, Oil City Confidential).

Known as the world’s traditional automotive center Detroit is a metonym for the American automobile industry and an important source of popular music legacies celebrated by the city’s two familiar nicknames, the Motor City and Motown. At its peak in 1950, the city was the fourth-largest in the USA.
How times have changed. Detroit now feels like it’s slowly sliding off the face of the Earth.
The statistics are staggering – 40sq miles of the 139sq mile inner city have already been reclaimed by nature.
One in five houses now stand empty. Property prices have fallen 80% or more in Detroit over the last three years.
This excellent documentary charts the downfall, but as the filmmaking crew discovered, to their surprise,
an irrepressible positivity is slowly emerging in the city.
