Detroit: Our Problem, Your Problem

Available for over a year

Detroit made history in July when it became the largest US city ever to declare bankruptcy. We hear why some European banks are now digging in their heels over the city’s drive to solvency. Also, we find out about the hardships faced by some migrants who sneak across the US/Mexico border after being picked up by the US border patrol. We meet a Somali-American imam in Minnesota who is determined to counter any extremist views being perpetuated in his community. And, words of warning for Americans who like to help those who are less fortunate - you may be doing more harm than good.
