Who would have known the accidentally shooting of his sister in the leg would have set off a chain reaction that would rip Chico Colvard’s family apart? This incident uncovered unspeakable truths that tore the family apart and now 30 years later, the family lifts the veil of secrecy and silence once again. In this documentary, Chico revisits his family and “what unfolds is a personal film that’s as uncompromising, raw, and cathartic as any in the history of the medium”.
