Overall Generation Startup is a well-meaning attempt to give some perspective to the once derelict city in ruins slowly being brought back from the dead as well as rally potential troops eager to get a piece of what these entrepreneurs are giving back to Detroit. That said I wish there was a little bit more skepticism on the part of the filmmakers ala Shark Tank questioning (or debunking) the profit margin and potentiality for financial success the business or product does or doesn’t present. As it stands, Generation Startup is somewhat nonjudgmental with the impetus that any idea is a good idea and all ideas are a benefit to the city. There’s also a disparity between those who had to scrape the pavement to get where they are today and those who were born into wealth and more or less inherited their places in the business world. I’m pleased to see such an amount of life and flavor being put back into the city that has long since dried up with poverty and ruin but as a Michigander it would also be nice for the filmmakers to exercise some discretion instead of embracing every idea head over heels as a great one. That said, uncritical or not I do hope to see some positive change for the betterment of the city as a result of this documentary and the many more we’re likely to see arriving in its wake.
