Motor City Raising: Motor City Rising celebrates the deep and rich human tapestry of a city as it literally rises from the ashes. The interconnecting stories of the creative thinkers, artistic innovators and Detroit residents trying to survive in a once great industrial city are all interconnected and prove that nothing is as powerful and tenacious as the creative, innovative and philanthropic American spirit.
Film Quote:

While this is an Ovation original series, it nevertheless endevours to tells a series of stories from the point of view each community.

Kobie Soloman and his Tag Team transform the Mims building into an inspiring landmark and the Mims brothers plan to bring attention to it by using it for Sean’s upcoming record release party. Rick plans a big surprise for Nina.
