Documentaries exploring aspects of American life.
Sinking City. Many ingredients of life in Philadelphia, the USA's fifth largest city, are the same as those in Los Angeles before the April "flare-up". The city is almost bankrupt. Social
Services have suffered massive cuts and vainly battle with drugs, homelessness and modern city chaos. While Republican and Quaker
Thacher Longstreth attends the victory parade for Gulf War "heroes", ignored black veteran James Speller recalls his last two homeless years, and Barbara Smith campaigns in one of the city's worst drug areas to drive out the dealers.
