8 Mile 4K 2002

Detroit, 1995. The city's brilliant and promising industrial development policy fails and leads to chaos and confusion, resulting in one of the most serious conflicts in American history between whites and people of color. People who had lived peacefully side by side found themselves on opposite sides of the barricades.

The "8 Mile" highway, which separates Detroit from the suburbs, becomes the dividing line between blacks and whites. What is happening in the city is reflected in the music. In poor suburban neighborhoods, where the main goal is survival, hip-hop becomes an emotional outlet for many residents, a means of escape from the harsh daily reality.
