This 22-minute documentary evokes a Chicago both familiar and strange.
Set in 1961 and beautifully filmed, City of Necessity takes an open-eyed look at the problems and benefits of urban life. Voices of everyday Chicagoans – as well as the unmistakable voice of Mayor Daley – muse about city living.
