"An Engrossing film that shows the corporate state in action. This film is a must."

Ralph Nader

Poletown Lives! documents nothing short of a social massacre, a courageous last stand by defiant, often white-haired old men and women against the immense gendarme of General Motors, the UAW, the Detroit Archdiocese, the local media and government leaders..."

Wayne State University Paper

"...A stunning and dramatic vision of the clash between the rich and the poor in America...a documentary of class conflict."
