LoginThe Metro: Filmmaker of Detroit documentary wants his art to heal
Detroit has changed a lot in the last two decades.
There’s more investment in the downtown and midtown areas. There are more people milling about the city. The parks and public areas have improved.
Stephen McGee witnessed those changes up close.The photographer and award-winning filmmaker came to Detroit decades ago and began photographing the city for the Detroit Free Press. He aggregated a lot of that work into his documentary, “Resurgo.”
In it, he focuses his lens on decaying infrastructure, new investments injected into the area, and the people who never left.
Who gets credit for all these changes? And, how can the investments in Detroit be more inclusive of those that have always been here?
These are some of the questions that McGee’s “Resurgo,” asks. It will be playing at the Emagine theater Thursday, Nov. 12 in Royal Oak at 7 p.m.
