Agreed, what is the name of the song?! It's a great song. And the movie looks really interesting too!

[ThePruittIgoeMyth]

@JuliusLegionaire , Thanks for the kind words. There are a few themes in the trailer, all by our composer Benjamin Balcom. If my guess is right, you're asking about the song at the end. It's titled "They Blew it Down". If you'd like any other info, feel free to send us an email. Thanks again.

@TMOLVIK I'm in architecture school and this is an example of Le Coubuser's Radiant City idea. To build up and thin instead of out, to incorporate green space. There are many reasons it failed. 1 it was not connected to the street, making strangers out of neighbors, destroying tight knit communities. 2 it had too many units, you didn't know if the people in your building were supposed to be there or not. 3 It was based on the idea of utopia, which never works. This should be in history classes..

@videolover61 Okay, I live in North Saint Louis. I lived here every since I was a baby. Yes, I admit the North side needs to be cleaned up, but that's because you have people that don't take care of anything and throw garbage everywhere. I clean up where I live. Too bad not everyone does that.

but I admit, there's alot that needs to be done about the North side.

@PassionateGoth

I know there's beautiful parts to St.Louis. Forest Park is fantastic, and the Loop is great and the downtown is wonderful, but so much in between is horrific! You have to admit that North St.louis is a hot mess!

[PassionateGoth]

@videolover61 There are some beautiful parts of Saint Louis. I was born and raised here and still reside here. Yeah, I admit there are some shitty parts of this city; but it's not all bad. Every town and city has their gritty parts. It's not the town itself, though. You have people that let their property go to waste and throw thrash everywhere that can make a part of town look gross and dirty.

@ThePruittIgoeMyth

Now, now...get your launguage together....see, that's exactly what I'm talkin' about. That St.Louis miserable vibe : (

[videolover61]

@PassionateGoth

I lived there for half of my life in that ol' dirt bag town, and I visit my family who still lives there. I have seen up front and personal how sad that town is...

[PassionateGoth]

@videolover61 Do you even know anything about Saint Louis besides what you've seen in this trailer?

[matmacat]

[HubBAbubBAgrrrl]

This looks like an awesome documentary. Gotta go look & see how I can watch it.

[MrRobmore]
