Narrated by GRAMMY winner Ann Nesby, with an original score by Emmy winner Maverick Turner, the film honors McSween’s legacy of resilience and hope.
 

Following its award-qualifying theatrical run at Atlanta’s Tara Theatre (Feb. 14-20, 2025), the film is now heading to the domestic and international festival circuit.
