Description

With a post-screening Q&A from the filmmaking team!

Join the filmmakers after the film for Coney Dogs at SpareMe!

For over 85 years, steamship Ste. Claire transported generations of Detroiters to Boblo Island, an amusement park nestled in the waters between the US and Canada. When the vessel comes under threat of ruin, a doctor, psychic and amusement park fanatic unite to save their beloved steamship from the scrapyard. Interweaving local lore and mythology, the film explores the whitewashed history of amusement parks and one crew's crusade to bring back the memories.
