All are welcome.<\/p>\n<p><em>Resurgo: The Rise from Within<\/em> is a feature-length documentary that offers an immersive look at Detroit&#8217;s urban transformation through the eyes of filmmaker Stephen McGee. It explores themes of neighborhood resilience, community identity and the evolving built landscape. Co-produced with Detroit Poet Laureate Jessica Care Moore, the film highlights the voices of longtime Detroiters with sweeping visual sequences to challenge the dominant ruin narrative and present the city on its own terms. The film has earned critical acclaim and recognition in documentary film circles, including Oscar eligibility consideration.<\/p>\n<p>McGee is a California-born photographer and filmmaker who has made Detroit his home since 2005. A former <em>Detroit Free Press<\/em> staff photographer, he has spent two decades embedded in the city&#8217;s neighborhoods, building relationships and an expansive visual record of a place in profound transition. His directorial work spans community storytelling, commercial campaigns and civic projects, always insisting that Detroit be seen with clarity, beauty and honesty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SACD will hold a special 45-minute preview screening of the film &#8216;Resurgo: The Rise from Within&#8217; followed by a discussion, in the Loranger Architecture Building Exhibition Space on Wednesday, April 18.
