SYNOPSIS:

Despite growing up in landlocked Kansas, Janice Collen’s childhood is defined by water — her mother and father are prominent activists in the movement to desegregate local swimming pools. As Janice comes of age and seeks meaning away from her parents’ politics, an unspoken distance grows within the family. Decades later, when Janice is asked to speak at a ceremony honoring her father, she must delve into her family’s past and reconcile the personal truths and public legacy of her inheritance.



Directed by Tamilla Woodard

Featuring Jennean Farmer, Marcus Henderson, Chalia La Tour, Adrienne S. Wells, Whitney Andrews, Messiah Cristina, Malik James, Chinna Palmer
