“Chromosomally Enhanced: What’s Your Superpower” Premiere

Visionalist Entertainment Productions and director Keith Famie hosted a community premiere for the documentary, “Chromosomally Enhanced: What’s Your Superpower?” on Tuesday, July 26 at the Emagine Theater in Novi. The sold-out event drew 300 people to view the film featuring Michigan residents of all ages and stages of life with Down Syndrome, as well as the community organizations that aid these families. The film will air on local Detroit Public Television on Sept. 2 at 4 p.m. As part of the closing scene to the film, nine featured individuals and local first responders from the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department, White Lake Township Police Department, Novi Police Department, Ypsilanti Township Fire Department, Livingston County K-9 Unit, and the Willow Run ARFF, as well as two Detroit football icons, Eric Hipple and Lomas Brown, all came together, like superheroes, to physically pull a 33,000-pound B-17 Yankee Lady Bomber, thanks to Willow Run Airport/Yankee Air Museum. // Photographs by Patrick Gloria
