Destroy Memphis

About This Movie

So, 'Destroy Memphis' is this raw documentary that digs into the complex layers of Memphis history, but more importantly, the way it's been systematically erased. It feels heavy, like the weight of all those lost stories pressing down. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that sort of adds to the urgency. You can tell the filmmakers are passionate, even if the director's name isn't out there. The practical effects come in the form of real interviews and archival footage, which gives it an authentic feel. It doesn't shy away from the tough topics—race, gentrification, and what it means to lose a cultural identity. It's not a polished piece, but that's part of its charm. It really makes you think about the impact of urban development on history.
