Watch as the members of a Nigerian social club in Detroit redefine community within their adopted homelands. As the elders age, their descendants worry that their traditions will be lost to time. Can the new generation rise to the challenge?

In Detroit We Dey, filmmaker Ozi Uduma explores the history and future of a social club founded by Nigerians who immigrated to Detroit in the 70s and 80s. Through the establishment of the club, the group redefined community within their adopted homelands. But as the group grapples with the reality of their aging membership, amplified by a global pandemic, new anxieties emerge about their traditions being lost to time, and the hope of building a sustainable future hangs in the balance.
