Detroit's decline shown in new documentary
In the 1930s, Detroit was America's fastest-growing city - but in recent times it has become one of the country's fastest-shrinking.
Now Detropia - a new documentary - surveys Detroit's declined state. It paints a painful picture of a city that, despite some limited economic recovery, remains a shadow of its former self.
