Red State Road Trip 2 – Detroit, Necropolis Reborn (Video Part IX)

Detroit - Once a 20th century industrial dynamo

Truthout is an indispensable resource for activists, movement leaders and workers everywhere. Please make this work possible with a quick donation.

Detroit – Once a 20th century industrial dynamo, now an 18th century rural society? Pheasants and deer wander among the rusting towers and ruined factories as nature reclaims this mighty American metropolis. Even more shocking: there is not a single supermarket in all of Detroit. In this episode, the remaining citizens of Detroit are turning this industrial wasteland… into a life giving urban garden.

Every DVD purchase of the Red State Road Trip 2 (90 minutes, www.redstateroadtrip.com) provides a donation to truthout.org.

Urgent appeal for your support: Help us fight political repression.

Truthout urgently appeals for your support. Under pressure from an array of McCarthyist anti-speech tactics, independent journalists at Truthout face new and mounting political repression.

We rely on your support to publish movement journalism — in fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you. Yet, donations are down at this moment of crisis. We may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser.

We have 8 days to hit our $46,000 goal. Please contribute a tax-deductible gift to Truthout at this critical moment.
