When first-generation Canadian filmmaker Aïcha Diop discovers she shares DNA with hundreds of Black Americans descended from the trans atlantic slave trade, she recruits her new found American cousin to join her on an adventure to uncover a centuries old web of Black ancestral resistance, from Senegal, to the American South, and Canada. This journey crescendos in a revelatory meeting with Aïcha’s family historians, her Gawlos, and demonstrates how ancestral knowledge can plant the seeds of revolution.
