A Mother Apart is an intimate, intergenerational exploration of mothering, told through the eyes and words of powerhouse Jamaican-American poet and LGBTQ+ activist Staceyann Chin. Weaving past and present, verité and animation, the film follows Chin as she navigates raising an empowered Black daughter while seeking out the truth about her own mother, who abandoned her as a child. What she uncovers will set her on a courageous, globe-spanning journey towards becoming the mother she never had.

Following the screening, join a talkback with the director Laurie Townshend and star, Staceyann Chin.
