Congratulations "Michoacan To Michigan"!


Former DAFT president, Len Radjewski, premiered his film celebrating the 100th anniversary of his family's journey from a small Mexican town to a farm in Michigan.  The free event was at the DIA's Detroit Film Theatre on Sunday October 13th to a packed house--many representing the five generations of Len's remarkable family.  You can still help support this amazing documentary via this link on DAFT's website.

Here's more from Len: 
"In partnership with DAFT, Michoacán to Michigan premiered at the DIA's Detroit Film Theatre on Sunday, October 13.  It was a tremendous success with over 1,000 attendees filling the theatre to capacity.  After the screening, the Mexican Consul to Detroit, Sr. Fernando Gonzalez Saiffe addressed the audience. During a Q&A with the production team, several audience members related their own moving family stories.

We would appreciate additional donations to help with distribution costs to help us tell our story with as many people/audiences as possible.  Donations can be made through DAFT

For more information about the Michoacán to Michigan project/documentary or to inquire about additional screenings for your organization, please contact Len Radjewski - michoacantomichigan@gmail.com"
