“A powerful and heart-wrenching family saga. Beautifully filmed and artfully narrated, Mamie’s journey—her resilience, humor, aspiration and love warms our hearts, and her courage to return to Mississippi redeems the humanity of a lynched family friend.”

“Mamie Kirkland’s life was a triumph of the human spirit. So is the movie that her son made about her. Watch it and you’ll fall in love with them both.”
