DENVER, April 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Bolton, the multiple
Grammy® Award-winning singer, songwriter and social
activist who has sold more than 65 million records worldwide, was
first drawn to Detroit while
researching for his album "A Tribute to Hitsville USA." The home of his greatest musical
influences, he realized that there was so much more to explore
about Detroit's past, present and
future. His resulting project, the engaging and uplifting
documentary "American Dream: Detroit," celebrates the golden age of the
Motor City - featuring its native entertainment legends like
Francis Ford Coppola,
Jerry Bruckheimer,
Aretha Franklin,
Smokey Robinson and
Alice Cooper - and reveals
the landscape of a new Detroit
being built by young visionaries and entrepreneurial moguls
alike.
In addition to the documentary, moviegoers will enjoy an
exclusive performance from Michael
Bolton & Friends, captured live from The Grove in
Los Angeles.
Tickets for "Michael Bolton Presents American Dream:
Detroit" go on sale to the
public on Friday, April 13 at
www.FathomEvents.com and participating box offices. Michael Bolton fans can get early access to
tickets on April 11 by signing up in
advance at www.MichaelBolton.com.
Fathom Events and Passion Films bring "Michael Bolton
Presents American Dream: Detroit" to over 450 U.S. cinemas for one
night on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at
7:00 p.m. local time, through
Fathom's Digital Broadcast Network (DBN). A complete list of
locations will be available April 13
on the Fathom Events website (cinemas and participants are
subject to change).
This documentary illustrates why the history and the future of
Detroit matters in the global
landscape. Told through the eyes of Bolton's own discovery, this
important story has remained largely obscured by mainstream media's
preference to portray only the devastation of the city's downfall,
until now. This is the story of the American Dream.
"This documentary is a truly inspiring tale of a city's
historical transformation that is certain to
entertain, educate and move fans coast to coast," said Fathom
Events CEO Ray Nutt. "Additionally,
the special bonus concert is a must-see for my friend
Michael and 'Hitsville USA'
aficionados."
