FAMILY PICTURES: USA
Detroit is The Future…And It’s Okay!
What’s Your Detroit Story?
As part of a new television series being filmed for PBS’ WORLD Channel, Family Pictures: USA will be in Detroit for a series of filmed interviews with average Detroiters to get their take on the Motor City, its past, present and future, as seen through the family photo album. Our theme is “Detroit is the Future…And it’s Okay!” and we want to illuminate that special Detroit that has always been there…through the bad times, certainly, but also during the good times…those times spent with family, friends, neighbors, the people we love and who love us. That Detroit is the real Detroit. It doesn’t always get mentioned in newspapers or magazines; seen on movie screens or television sets. But that, to us, it the only Detroit that really matters.
Bring a selection of your favorite photographs – digital or actual photo – to our Community Photo- Sharing Sessions (see the schedule) and spend 10-15 minutes with our Family Pictures: USA Production Team telling us about YOUR Detroit story.
Sessions are First Come, First Served…and interview spots are limited to the first 30 participants (individuals and singles welcome; as are couples, friends and family groups – families by birth and by choice are all welcome!) who sign-up.
