THE RISE AND FALL OF THE RUST BELT

Running through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, ending in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, the Rust Belt was once the hub of the American industrial revolution and innovation, everything from steel and motor vehicles to typewriters and razor blades that made the US an economic powerhouse.

In the 1970s, it fell into decline. Cities such as Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Buffalo and Milwaukee enjoyed the boom times and then felt the impact of the fall as competition from abroad, economic crises and automation all took their toll.

This two part series is a telling story in an early 21st century world where once again innovation, disruption and displacement are forces across the planet.
