Urban renewal comes under the microscope in this fascinating documentary, an analysis of one of the great failed experiments in public housing in the USA. Pruitt-Igoe was a public housing development in St Louis overloaded with the weight of expectation, and made famous by images of its eventual destruction by detonation and how it came to stand for a parallel implosion of the community within. The film, however, takes another look at the accepted wisdom around the project’s demise, and unearths a range of heart-warming, infuriating and poignant tales of ultimate survival from many of the original residents.
