In 2020, anti-Asian hate multiplied quickly amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked an international racial reckoning over police violence against Black Americans. The Moss family, a biracial Black-Indonesian family in Minneapolis, shares how they moved through this chaos. Latifah has intimate family conversations with her parents and brother. Each family member reveals personal experiences never shared before with their loved ones, and they navigate difficult conversations about issues that have haunted them.
