Requiem for Detroit; a documentary that will tell the roller coaster story of the city’s automotive industry through the testimony of the people who lived through it. It is directed by Julien Temple.
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.This is the place where bad times get sent to make them belong to somebody else, thus, it seems easy to agree about Detroit because the city embodies everything the rest of the country wants to get over.
– Jerry Herron, AfterCulture: Detroit and the Humiliation of History (1993)
