A legendary musician goes on a road trip to soul-searching redemption in order to become the father he should have been…
Umar Bin Hassan takes us back into an environment poisoned by racism, poverty and self-hate. While dealing with an absent father unable to forge lasting emotional ties, Umar chose to be a poet, making his poetry political and shocking; “Niggers are scared of revolution!” But Umar's visionary poetry proved to be more powerful than himself as he fell prey to drugs and self-hate, turning into an absent father himself. 50 years later, he has a second chance; to be the father he had never been before.
