The movie that I have watched was based off the Detroit Depression, which started with the Detroit riot in 1967, which was also known as the 12th street riot, which was a violent public disorder that turned into a civil disturbance in Detroit, Michigan. This left 43 dead, and thousands injured, and the city in flames. It has since then been the fastest sinking city in the United States, with the highest foreclosure rate. The movie also shows the collapse of the United States manufacturing base. Detroit’s population rate has decreased excessively from 1955 to now. Millions to thousands.

The film also takes note of the huge pay cuts new workers are expected to take, without demonstrating how existing workers rose up out of the bankruptcies with far less harm than other partners.

But I also disagree because the film as a whole just leaves a lot of things unexplained and a lot of questions unanswered, and I believe it leaves out a few important things that have happened in Detroit, that have led up to the depression.
The major takeaway that I got from the movie Detropia was, that this can happen anywhere in the world, not just Detroit. It helped me to open my eyes and realize just how lucky I am to live in the community, and economy that I do, here in
