Bolton, a native of Connecticut, began making the documentary highlighting the comeback of Detroit in 2013, saying he had fallen in love with the city and its people. The "love letter to Detroit" features interviews with business moguls, singers and luminaries, including Chris Ilitch, Jerry Bruckheimer, Francis Ford Coppola, Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson and Alice Cooper.

Everyone featured in the film was invited to the premiere, said its director and Bolton's manager, Christina Kline. But organizers weren't yet sure who will attend and whether Bolton will perform.

A roster of young local musicians featured in the film in collaboration with the Detroit Institute of Music Education are scheduled perform, Kline said.

One song included in the film is "Silent Film" by Stephie James, an artist from metro Detroit who moved to Nashville. James also co-owns Dessert Oasis Coffee Roasters in Detroit's Capitol Park, she said in an email.

Michigan theaters to screen the movie include the Fairlane Megastar 21 in Dearborn, the Maple Theatre in Bloomfield Hills, Emagine Novi 18, AMC Forum 30 in Sterling Heights and the State Theatre in Traverse City, according to its Fathom Events webpage.
