Focus: Hope, a grassroots project rebuilding Detroit

This PBS story was sent to us by your class mate Natasha Dockter, who thought it tied well into out focus on Detroit and its changing economy. One of the most interesting side stories contained within this facinating video is how a  job training and production centre for young inner city people reinvented itself from serving the auto industry to serving the military. While this video does not dwell on this transformation, it raises important questions about the military and war as growing economic industries unto themselves. This is a question that often gets overlooked in discussions about spatial transformations of post-fordism. Vodpod videos no longer available.
