In the 1960’s and 1970’s there was a resurgence of pride, identity, and a reclamation of power and self-determination.
My family was a part of this movement and as I child, I was inculcated in it with my African name, my celebration of Kwanzaa, and my parents insistence that I understand and participate in a knowledge of black pride and black identity.
This film explores the lives of people from my generation –who were the sons of and daughters of 1960’s & 70’s radicals.
