These two fierce and clear-eyed women valiantly work to safeguard their ancestors' land and gain justice for family members Melvin and Licurtis, who were wrongfully imprisoned for eight years - the longest sentence for civil contempt in North Carolina history.

This documentary, based on a 2019 ProPublica article, highlights the covert ways the legal system has been exploited to keep Black land ownership fragile and the racial wealth gap growing.
