Detropia

Directors: Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing. Documentary about downsizing and depopulation in Detroit, Michigan, and the effects of these trends on its landscapes and citizens. Interview subjects include George McGregor and Crystal Starr.
Twitter Capsule: Structure isn't the strong suit of this urban-downsizing documentary, but candor, sobriety, and imagery are all memorable.
