Synopsis

After conducting research inside Detroit's juvenile detention facilty, Bergman befriended two inmates, Dude and Rodney. Living with them for more than three years in one of the city's most notorious neighbourhoods, Bergman brilliantly explores the complex contradictions of Detroit, where African-Americans firmly hold municipal power, but also suffer the legacy of lost manufacturing jobs and white flight. For Dude and Rodney, young men trying to find legal employment, getting ghost' is a rich metaphor for leaving a trade and for their own mortality.'
