Bringing Flint Back to Life
"Remembering Flint Central" is a documentary that revisits the storied past of Flint Central High School, a beacon of education and racial diversity in a city that once thrived as the heart of America’s industrial might. Through heartfelt interviews with former students, teachers, and local historians, the film captures the vibrant spirit of a school that served as a microcosm of Flint's broader community—where people of different races and backgrounds came together to learn, grow, and support one another.
As the documentary reflects on the school’s rise and eventual closure, it also sheds light on the decline of Flint itself. But more than just a look back to the past, "Remembering Flint Central" is a call to action—a vision for how the unity and resilience that defined Flint Central can inspire a new era of revitalization for the city. By remembering the past, the film aims to ignite hope and collaboration in efforts to bring Flint back, restoring its place as a thriving, diverse, and vibrant community.
