The directors of the new Netflix documentary series "Flint Town," Drea Cooper, Zackary Canepari, and Jessica Dimmock, discuss the new show. "Flint Town" follows the lives of several police officers in the troubled city of Flint, Michigan.
Cooper calls Flint "ground zero for the American struggle," pointing out it's a town built entirely on the auto industry and it's struggling to move forward.
Canepari says it's surreal to see a city in America this poor and this crime-ridden. He adds the number one question we should be asking is, "why isn't this getting better?"
Dimmock says the key to making the documentary work was getting the chance to work with so many open and honest collaborators. She says this show provides officers with an opportunity to have their voices heard on issues concerning all Americans.
Over 500 restaurants are taking part in New York Restaurant Week, which concludes on Aug. 20. Cheddar News checks in from Dagon Restaurant in the city's Upper West Side to discuss some of its delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes with Chef Ari Bokovza.
Wondering what to watch this weekend? We suggest Mario & Luigi, Meghan Markle before royalty, a bust out of jail guide and perhaps the greatest musician ever!
