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.

As word spreads, Resurgo is rapidly becoming a catalyst for renewed civic pride and broader national attention. Viewers frequently describe the film as transformative,reshaping their understanding of Detroit and revealing stories rarely seen in mainstream media. With its blend of historical archive, artistic voice, and lived experience, Resurgo is not only documenting a city’s evolution but contributing to it. The project stands poised to influence how Detroit is perceived for years to come, marking it as one of the most significant and emotionally resonant films to emerge from the region in decades.

Following the film will be a Q+A with director Stephen McGee.
