Dissatisfied with the limited knowledge about their African heritage, some participate in DNA testing to discover ancient truths about their ancestors. Afro creatives share reflections from Panama, Jamaica, Peru, United States, Brazil, Nigeria, Argentina, South Africa in this documentary about unity. The music and dance of the Afro diaspora provide a rich flavor and soundscape to the film.
