Rollin: The Decline of the Auto Industry and Rise of the Drug Economy in Detroit

About This Movie

Rollin is a gritty documentary that dives deep into the harsh realities of Detroit, blending the decline of its once-mighty auto industry with the rise of the drug economy. The tone is stark, almost haunting, as it paints a vivid picture of a city grappling with its identity after the economic fallout. The pacing draws you in, with interviews from artists and journalists revealing personal stories that make you feel the weight of the city’s struggles. It’s not your typical crime doc; the atmosphere is thick with a sense of decay and resilience. The visuals are raw, capturing the remnants of industrial glory, and while the director remains unnamed, the film’s authentic voice stands out. It’s a thought-provoking piece that feels very much alive.
