Much more than a travel film or an historical look back, Michigan: An American Portrait captures the history of the state and how that history informs the present. The documentary looks at how fresh water, fur trading, shipping, mining, entertainment, automobiles, conservation, and racial justice issues have informed the cultural, political and economic virtues of America's 10th largest state.
