"The Sprawling of America, airing at 8 tonight [June 6, 2001] on Channel 56 (WTVS), is ... a concise, watchable history of Metro Detroit and the enormous population shifts -- half of Detroit's people have left over the last 30 years -- and the price tag attached to those shifts. The documentary examines race, greed, why we live where we live and the very fundamental question of what we want as a society. "
