Fifty years after their high school connection, De starts digging into his background only to discover that his family history included enslaving Jimmie’s family in past generations— a family secret unknown to Jimmie. De deals with the burden of guilt of his ancestors actions whereas Jimmie shoulders this news with resilience. This is a powerful film on acknowledging the past to heal’s one present.
