The documentary, which has been the official selection at several international and domestic film festivals, examines the history of the important 1960s band, MC5. “I saw the director’s cut three years ago and left the theater in awe of the way in which [the film] re-created the milieu out of which the five emerged, as well as its subsequent history,” says Professor Steve Rosswurm.
