Deforce

In "Deforce," director Nelson Jones examines the downfall of Detroit, once a thriving city regarded as a model for America, now plagued by urban decay, economic hardship, and political turmoil. Through a thorough exploration of the city's modern history, the documentary reveals the root causes of Detroit's demise, which go beyond the collapse of the auto-industry. Instead, it uncovers a web of political mismanagement and neglect that has led to a startling reality: a man born in Detroit today is more likely to face jail time than to graduate from college. "Deforce" offers a powerful and thought-provoking warning to other large cities, urging them to address their own political and economic issues before facing a similar fate.
