Resurgo (2026) with director Q&A at the Senate Theater

“Resurgo: The Rise from Within” is a landmark documentary from director Stephen McGee and poet-producer Jessica Care Moore, created from twenty years of immersive filmmaking in Detroit. Drawing from millions of photographs and thousands of hours of footage, the film rejects the decades-old national narrative of Detroit as a symbol of decline. Instead, it presents a powerful, people-centered portrait of a city defined by creativity, endurance, and humanity. Through intimate storytelling, poetic narration, and stunning cinematography, Resurgo reframes Detroit for both longtime residents and global audiences, offering a truer and more dignified reflection of the city’s soul. Following the film will be a Q+A with director Stephen McGee.

Parking is available in our gated lot on Gilbert Street, behind the theater. Tickets are $10.00.
