Directed by Detroit native Jared Malik Royal and narrated by Cunningham himself, \u201cthe film draws a clear parallel between how Cade was raised and how Detroit builds\u2014through persistence, pride, and leading by example,” according to a release from the automaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cFord has strong values and that\u2019s exactly what I was raised on,\u201d Cunningham said. \u201cI watched my pops work hard every day and that mindset was instilled on the whole family. I\u2019ve carried his never-quit mentality ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n
