Detroit Lives is a documentary about Detroit and the renaissance of art, culture, and outside-the-box re-development that’s happening there. The film was done by Palladium Boots, the footwear company, and stars “Jackass” Johnny Knoxville. The cursing and rock n’ roll posing may be annoying to some, but I think the film does a good job of surveying some of the more exciting and innovative things that are happening in the Po-Motor City. Nice to see Bethany Shorb, of Cyberoptix TieLab and OmniCorp Detroit, and some of our other Detroit maker pals in it.
