The Meaning of Hope renders a conversation between citizens of the City of Detroit on the subject of hope, a conversation on an unexpected topic in an unexpected place. This conversation is dramatically underscored by an unexpected point of view through a completely unexpected source. The Meaning of Hope is not a film about Detroit, nor is it a documentary film. Part fact, part fiction, The Meaning of Hope is a film about an essential necessity of twenty first century life on Earth that ends with a moving mix of wit, wisdom, poetry and power from Detroit.
