A new documentary exploring the time surrounding the 1967 Detroit riots is expected to premiere at the Freep Film Fest this March.
The film titled "12th and Clairmount" was produced by the Detroit Free Press in collaboration with Bridge Magazine and WXYZ-TV. A number of organizations including the Detroit Institute of Arts also played a major role in its completion.
Footage from home movies and old news film helps to tell the story of that summer back in 1967, looking at what led up to the conflict and the aftermath.
Emmy-winning videographer Brian Kaufman and Bridge Magazine journalist Bill McGraw teamed up to show city life during that era.
The film is set to premiere on March 30 at the Fillmore Detroit.
Tickets are $20 and can be bought at livenation.com or the Fillmore Detroit box office. Tickets go on sale February 13 at 10 a.m.
The full line-up for the Freep Film Fest is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
