Cinema Program screening of "Detropia"

Directed by Heidi Ewig & Rachel Grady (2012). Detroit's story has encapsulated the narrative of America over the last century—: the migration of African Americans escaping Jim Crow; the rise of manufacturing and the middle class; the love affair with automobiles; ...and now the collapse of the economy and the fading American mythos. With its painterly palette and haunting score, DETROPIA sculpts a dreamlike collage of a grand city teetering on the brink of dissolution.
