The City that Sold America

Directed by Ky Dickens

At the threshold of the 20th Century, a melting pot of adventurous immigrants, creative mavericks, and freedom-seeking African Americans shaped consumerism as we now know it. The new documentary THE CITY THAT SOLD AMERICA reveals, with intriguing insights and wistful nostalgia, the confluence of Chicago's creative talent, business savvy, grit and determination that changed the country and our relationship with popular culture.
