An All American City

The U.S. is the most religiously diverse nation on earth. The community of Detroit is rich with stories of everyday people grappling with the reality of pluralism, especially religious pluralism. Filmmaker Maria Finitzo will capture how individuals confront the appearance of a stranger, and ultimately come to accept the stranger as one who will not only stay, but belongs as well.

Detroit is spread out across many city neighborhoods and suburbs. Interfaith work crosses community lines. By following stories through the suburbs and neighborhoods of Detroit, Finitzo hopes to provide thought-provoking examples of how we, as Americans, deal with the challenges and demands of pluralism.
