POLETOWN LIVES!

"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..."
