DETROIT 48202 follows Watkins on his route as he talks with neighbors about the rapid changes affecting their home.

Despite the economic decline, the community carries on a legacy of activism—urban farms, artist collectives, schools and more—while offering creative solutions to reimagine a more inclusive and equitable city.
