Deadmalls.com is featured in a documentary


"Malls R Us" is a powerful reminder as we slide into global economic crisis of how much mass consumption has shaped people's lives and created the public spaces of modern societies, East and West, North and South. This film impresses upon us the folly of our ways, the alternatives we might entertain, but also the difficulties we will face extricating ourselves from a world overly dependent on retail for prosperity and community.
-- Lizabeth Cohen, author of A Consumers' Republic: The Politics of Mass Consumption in Postwar America

A fascinating, sumptuously filmed investigation into the history, design, function and future of the shopping mall in modern life. With its global sweep, vintage footage, and searching assessment of the mixed blessings that malls are in our lives, Malls R Us is instant classic-- the documentary you want to see on this subject.
-- Alex Shoumatoff, Contributing Editor, Vanity Fair Magazine

'Malls R Us' is eye-opening, showing us the unfortunate fate of not only malls dying in the United States, but where the new ones are ending up, and the motivation behind their creation and the developer's drive for their project to be the biggest and best. Your perception of the shopping mall will not be the same after you see this!
-- Brian Florence, Deadmalls.com

Doc Zone did a great job of repackaging, renarrating, and bringing this material up to date given the current economic climate (as of 2008 but relevant today).
