Synopsis by Cammila Collar
Sick and tired of his family's refusal to acknowledge his multi-racial background, filmmaker Octavio Warnock-Graham confronts his mother and extended family with a camera, creating a 25 minute documentary about the strange silence that the white side of his family exhibits when asked about the circumstances of his birth, and the larger reflections of Midwestern culture that it represents.
