We look forward to showing the movie in Pittsburgh on November 28th at the Byham as part of Pittsburgh's 250, for which we would are inviting all the talent which has left Pittsburgh, including the hundreds who sang "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" In Times Square and Beverly Hills, to come home and reconnect with the city. As Franco Harris says in the movie, "talent, come on back to Pittsburgh!"I hope that there will be a celebration in more places than just Pittsburgh.
Appropriately, tag line for the movie, which is really a comeback story in every sense, is "it's never too late to come back."
In 1925, urban planner & historian Lewis Mumford described four “great tides” of migration that reflected the economic transformation of the US. Eight decades later, Robert Fishman (professor of architecture & urban planning at the University of Michigan) noted the large-scale return of people to global cities, labeling it the Fifth Migration. Today’s great tide, the Sixth Migration, is ebbing from global cities & towards a better quality of life.
