The award-winning director and writer has penned a sprawling historical novel of Detroit in the tumultuous years spanning the 1920s to the 1940s. Many historical figures appear: Henry and Edsel Ford, Harry Bennett, Diego Rivera, workers of varying cultural backgrounds who toiled away in the foundry, the assembly plants and even the rubber plantations in Brazil. We see life close up in Detroit, Dearborn and Inkster, Michigan. We see the gangs that ruthlessly ran the cities, and workers organizing to change and push back that control. Life and death fights were necessary to win some semblance of a better life. And today, here we are again, facing ruthless gangs who want to win back that total control.
This British, award-winning, four-episode miniseries fictionalizes an actual knife murder of a young girl by her 13-year-old male classmate. The series shows young men with fear, hate and loathing of the female sex, and questions the influence of society, parents and the internet on forming this hate.
The young man believes the incel, misogynist theories he finds on the internet. He sees no one in his family or school countering the hateful divisions fermented online.
Today in the UK they are showing the series in schools and trying to get people to talk about this and other divisions. However, this capitalist system we live in cannot exist without these hateful divisions. It is the whole system that needs to be changed.
