It’s early 2008. With the American presidential campaign gathering steam, an unrelenting roar has been mounting, resonating all the way to Paris, where African-Americanexpatriate filmmaker, Guetty Felin has been living a self-imposed exile for the last 20 years. Unable to resist the political turbulence back home, she enlists French husband, Hervé Cohen (co-director) and their two sons 15 year-old Yeelen and Joakim, 11, on a journey to bear witness to the historical grassroots movement that is uniting Americans across party and racial lines. And so, what began as a video diary of the political coming of age of their sons, would later turn into an electoral road movie across the country in the quest of rediscovering America and redefining oneself in it.
