It was once at the heart of the American motor industry, and the birthplace of a music genre that earned global recognition for black artists. Detroit was once a prosperous and thriving city; one of the richest cities in America, but today the city has high crime rates and is littered with abandoned buildings. It’s hard to believe this is modern America, a city that even Americans are reluctant to visit and that carries the stigma of once being the murder capital of the world.
With extraordinary access and some trepidation, Ben Fogle sets out to explore the all too evident underbelly of Detroit as he tries to discover what went wrong. What caused the economy to collapse and communities to fall apart? And is there any hope for the Detroiters left behind?
