In ACTS OF REPARATION, two friends Selina Lewis Davidson and Macky Alston - one Black, one white - travel South to their ancestral lands to explore what reparations means to them.
From kitchen tables to porches, lost cemeteries to discovered diaries, their journeys lead to unexpected opportunities that transform their friendship, families and communities.
In Louisiana, Selina gathers stories from a sisterhood of her great aunties who together sleuth to uncover the buried tales of their ancestors. In Georgia, Macky challenges generations of his kin to dismantle privilege they inherited from enslavers and support Black leaders nearby. Together, Selina and Macky reclaim and reckon with their roots - discovering that small acts can lead to big change.
