Part love letter, part detective story, SONS OF DETROIT is a film about America's quintessential city, told through the lens of one unique family.

A white man raised as a cousin in a black Detroit family returns home after 20 years away to find the block gone and the family scattered. To piece together what happened, he searches out his cousin, Boo, recently home after 20 years in prison. Together, they set out to uncover what happened to their family, their block, and the golden age of 1970s Detroit that made them.

An investigation into the perils of silence, SONS OF DETROIT opens the door on nuanced, unflinching conversations about race—and especially about whiteness—rarely seen on film.
