BBC documentary about Detroit. Not feeling it so much.
It's pretty much all ruin porn, with a touch of silver-lining thrown in. Granted, the film is about the city's decline, not its rebirth, but you can't help but feel like it's an exploitation piece.
They talk about some good things happening, but I didn't get a positive vibe from the flick. It felt a bit cheap. Well done, but you felt taken advantage of. Like a zoo. "oooh, look at the Detroiters, so feral. Now let's go back to our safe homes once we've had our fill of grim reality."
Meh. Skip it.
