Home to the US automobile industry, Detroit was once the gleaming hub of America's industrial engine. But as the economy disintegrates, Detroit has become the symbol of the collapse of the American Dream. The city lies in ruins. Empty factories and abandoned neighbourhoods are being reclaimed by vegetation and wildlife.
French filmmaker Florent Tillon looks beyond the haunted landscape of this decaying city to discover the emergence of a pioneering spirit among those left behind. Amid the wasteland, new urban explorers are discovering opportunities in Detroit's reversion to a natural state. Together their stories present a history of the fall of a once proud city and speculate on the shape of its future.
