This intimate chronicle of an African-American family in Philadelphia spans eight years, beginning at the dawn of the Obama presidency. Parents Christopher ‘Quest’ Rainey, and Christine’a ‘Ma Quest’ Rainey navigate the hardship and strife that grips their North Philly neighbourhood as they raise their children, and cultivate a creative sanctuary for their community in their home music studio. This tender portrait of the Rainey family is both a vivid illumination of race, class, and life in modern day America, and an inspirational testament to love, healing and hope.
