Dr. Albert “Doc” Jones, founder of the National Association of Black Scuba Divers, dedicated his life to uncovering lost histories beneath the ocean. When his team found the Henrietta Marie, the first recovered slave ship, he set out to honor those lost at sea. This film celebrates his mission to recover forgotten stories and preserve them for future generations. A Japanese elder shares his journey from a life of crime to finding peace as a bamboo farmer in the mountains of North Carolina, where growing bamboo helped him discover a more spiritual way of living. Filmmaker Maaliyah Papillion is tapped to learn the ways of her elders and carry on their sacred traditions as the next chief of the Atakapa-Išhak Nation, making her the second woman to lead the tribe since 1771.
