Powerful New Documentary Tells Story Of Fall Of Detroit



Detroit is a shell of its former self. Hunkered down against the growing solitude surrounding the remaining habitable zones, the palaces of corporate power serve as little more than a reminder of glories past. What happened? How did this American treasure become the desolate and dangerous home of hulking wrecks, abandoned homes, and broken dreams? - IJ Review

The new documentary Bankrupt: How Cronyism and Corruption Brought Down Detroit, from Mister Smith Media and FTR Media, explores the road to perdition American automobiles cruised down in their partnership with government. A story of the love the people had, and hope to have again, for this city of metaphors.

The full documentary, above, is available for free for a limited time. It’s a chance for us to find out not only what went wrong, but what can go wrong in the future. A cautionary tale of the age of Too Big To Fail.
