Regional Roots

Shown at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum

Covering 300 years of history, “Regional Roots” uses the immigrant experience as an introduction to the diverse landscape of Detroit. From the early French and German settlers to today’s growing communities, immigrants continue to shape the region in pursuit of the American Dream. This film won Best Detroit Documentary in 2010 at the Detroit Windsor International Film Festival and Best Short Documentary in 2009 at the Trinity Film Coalition Festival.
