About this Event
Join us for a powerful and unforgettable evening at the Detroit Premiere of Redemption Road, an award-winning documentary by Dr. Yusef Bunchy Shakur a film about Detroit, told by a native son of Detroit.
Celebrating 25 Years Home, this is more than a film screening, it is a rare and transformative experience rooted in truth, redemption, vulnerability, and the power of community. Dr. Shakur’s journey from the streets, to incarceration, to scholarship, to leading an 85-year-old social justice organization challenges how we overstand justice, identity, and what it means to truly change.
In a time when poverty and mass incarceration have stifled so many in our communities, this story is not just about overcoming, it is about resistance, transformation, and what it means to return as a community protector.
Set inside the historic Charles H. Wright Museum, this evening will bring together community members, leaders, changemakers, and supporters for a shared moment of reflection, connection, and inspiration.
