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 Daniel Bryant

Featuring Gabriel D. Lawrence, Chavez Ravine, Lauren Steele, Andrea White
