Significantly, what this film belies is the narrative that Detroit was "burned down" in the riots. In fact, if this film was taken in the final days of the conflagration - most of the actual riot damage had been done, and what was filmed was what was left.
This video seems to have been film of the eastside, but wasn't there more action/destruction on the westside?
