A number of writers have dated the demise of modernism to the demolition
of the Pruitt-Igoe complex in St Louis MO. It was dynamited and reported
on network news back in 1972.

By the way, this does not appear to be a post-modernist idea!

Anyway, my question is, what geographically oriented films/videos show
this event in all its spectacular destruction?

This may be an interesting subject for discussion.
