Filmed over the course of one year using HDSLR cameras, Belle Isle Revealed tells the story of Belle Isle’s often overlooked natural habitat and abundant wildlife. As Detroit’s largest city park, Belle Isle is iconic and meaningful to many people in southeast Michigan. Much of the park has steadily deteriorated due to lack of resources, but a core group of volunteers, scientists and activists are working hard to preserve its threatened ecosystem.
Belle Isle Revealed was published in September of 2010 for the Detroit Free Press. More videos from this series can be found at freep.com/belleisle
