In 2021, we released our award-winning film, Taking Poletown: A Community’s Fight Over Economic Justice & Eminent Domain, that showcases the battle waged by the residents of Poletown to stop GM and the city of Detroit from using eminent domain to take their historic community. Now listen to the story of how this film came together. Featuring Taking Poleotown’s director, Tim Hedberg, and executive producer, Matt Wood. Tim and Matt recount how this film came to be and what they learned along the way. Enjoy our first “Making of” episode of the FedSoc Films Podcast.
