stories & info for an optimistic doc on Detroit
Hello,
I’m working at a Swiss production company which has already shot a feature film last year in California [[US) and Japan.
We are now planning to make a feature documentary about Detroit [[US) and Toyota City [[Japan). According to me, what makes Detroit and Toyota City so unique is their historical relationship with the car industry. They are twin cities for this specific reason.
We would like to focus on the way the two cities are facing the car industry crisis, the impact on the local population and how they try to overcome it. In short : what could embody the revival of Detroit today?
It could be a story of a successful person, or a charismatic politician / music star / cinema star..., or a new hype district, or a flourishing Mexican restaurant, or the development of new kinds of craft / arts. Anything!
Any idea or experience?

Are We on Candiid Camera Here?
Antoine, it seems to me that this is not the way a valid, paid researcher goes avbout doing his homework. Can we have more information about your antecedents/credentials before we open the kimono any further? What were your other projects and where are they available?
Got to admit, I can;t imagine why anybody would pull the chain of Detroiters at this point in history but, if anybody would, my money is on you.
I am working, by the way, on a project involving comparisons of cheese in Wisconsin and Emmenthal. Any help you could give me would be appreciated.
