Part documentary, part narrative, this experimental, quasi-documentary ensemble work is a “speculative re-enactment” based partly on Asili’s own experiences in a West Philadelphia Black liberationist group. Infusing this documentary scaffold is a scripted drama centered on a young man who inherits a sprawling, multi-story house in West Philadelphia from his grandmother and decides to refashion the property into a collective of young, Black artists and activists. This movie weaves together a documentary recollection of the Philadelphia liberation group MOVE, the Black Arts Movement, footage of political activists, writers, and poets in Philadelphia, and the filmmaker’s own formative experiences in a Black Marxist collective, with a very loose plot about a young man trying to learn more about his grandmother's beliefs.
