Terrific...Amazing shooting of Detroit, amazing archival material and really good interviews.

-Marshall Curry

Uses Detroit’s history to accurately illuminate the present state of the city.

-Thomas Costello

An unflinching look at the politics of the American inner-city… From New Deal housing policy to the modern Drug War the film focuses on the tools that divided the city economically and socially. Themes that are common in most cities, but the extremes shown make it uniquely Detroit.

-Gary Wein
The New Jersey Stage
 

The Film’s most striking feature is its visuals. From high, expansive shots of the city to detailed visualizations of the internal decay of so many structures is enchanting and heartbreaking whilst being poetic and hauntingly beautiful.
