Urban Manufacturing: Nostalgia or Necessity?
- Feature Film, SFUFF 2020 Events
- 120 mins
The de-industrialization of cities has been devastating to cities like Detroit but also to San Francisco as the loss of manufacturing and maritime jobs has resulted in the hollowing out of the working class. In recent years, a maker movement of artisans and entrepreneurs has attempted to innovate the production sector to serve a new generation of city dwellers. Can these new businesses recreate the heyday of urban manufacturing?
