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..

It begins with a white man—raised as a “cousin” in a black family in 1970’s Detroit—returning home after 20 years away to find the house in ruins and his family scattered. To piece together what happened, he searches out his cousin, Boo, who is recently home after 20 years in prison. Together, the two men unravel tangled threads of race, belonging, violence, and love that shaped their lives. As they unearth buried histories, they reveal a possible path toward healing.
