2010 Documentary
USA
Beyond the Motor City examines how Detroit, a grim symbol of America's diminishing status in the world, may come to represent the future of transportation and progress in this country. The film explores Detroit's historic investments in infrastructure -- from early 19th-century canals to the urban freeways that gave The Motor City its name and made America's transportation system the envy of the world. But it also reveals that over the last 30 years, much of the world has left Detroit -- and America -- behind, choosing faster, cleaner, more modern transportation.
