Redwood
A World Premiere! A BEAUTIFUL, HUMOR-FILLED EXCAVATION OF OUR SHARED HISTORY. When a hip hop lovin' uncle obsessed with Ancestry.com starts digging into the past, an interracial couple finds that they have a lot more (and a lot less) in common than they thought. Filled with comedy, wit, and dance, this singular American story is about learning to live and love in a present that's overpopulated with ghosts.
