In Detroit factories have moved overseas to scoop up cheaper labour. Former assembly workers now freeze on the streets after losing their homes. These are the forgotten ghosts of an economic crisis.

More than 15,000 are homeless in the city. "There's no work in Michigan... all you see is vacant houses," explains one destitute resident. White papers in windows are a sign of eviction. Bored teens beat up the handicapped homeless. "People have been dying and it has become regular. They freeze. Its just a bunch of chaos, its sad, sad."
