11:35Now PlayingDemocracyNow.org - Once known as the Motor City where the middle class was born, Detroit's auto industry and manufacturing sector have collapsed. Today the city is on the verge of bankruptcy, facing a thinning population and massive cuts to basic services. The new film "Detropia" takes an intimate look at at some of the city's former members of the middle class as they struggle to make ends meet, and refuse to abandon hope. We're joined by the film's co-director, Rachel Grady, a private investigator turned filmmaker who ,along with her co-director Heidi Ewing, has made several films, including the Academy Award-nominated, "Jesus Camp."
