If you’ve spent enough time around rock ‘n’ roll in southeastern Michigan, there’s a colorful figure you’ve invariably encountered at some point: Hiawatha Bailey. Bailey, 78, is one of the Motor City’s true originals, a gay Black man who’s been in the thick of the region’s counterculture from the ‘60s onward, entrenched in hippie radicalism and the later punk movement. Now, after years in the works, a documentary exploring his uncommon life has arrived: “The Song of Hiawatha: The Life and High Times of the First Black Hippie,” will make its local bow Friday (Nov. 6) at the Detroit Institute of Arts’ Detroit Film Theatre, three months after its world premiere in Austin. The evening promises to be “a real rock ‘n’ roll experience,” as organizers describe it, with a performance by the seminal Detroit punk band Cinecyde and an afterparty at the Old Miami in the Cass Corridor. Along with a gritty, high-octane Detroit rock soundtrack, the 1½-hour film features an array of high-profile Michigan artists and activists whose lives intersected with Bailey’s through the decades, including Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Wayne Kramer, John Sinclair, Niagara Detroit and Pun Plamondon. The freewheeling doc is a passion project of New

ELY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WBUP/WJMN) — 100 years after Michigan's deadliest mining disaster, "Buried in Iron" takes viewers beyond the tragedy itself to explore the lasting impact of the Barnes-Hecker Mine disaster on the families, community and mining industry of the Upper Peninsula. The documentary traces the history of the Barnes-Hecker Mine in Ely Township, from its troubled beginnings battling groundwater and unstable conditions to the catastrophic collapse on November 3, 1926, that claimed the lives of 51 miners. 41 miners were unable to be recovered and left underground, where they remain today."Buried in Iron" also follows the work of the Barnes-Hecker 100th Anniversary Committee, whose efforts helped transform the once-forgotten mine site into a permanent memorial park. Through preservation, research and remembrance, ensuring the miners' stories continue to be told for future generations.More than a historical account, the documentary is a tribute to the 51 men who lost their lives, the families who carried their memory forward, and a community determined to ensure that their stories are never forgotten, because some stories should never be buried.
