The film follows the lives of the Charles family as they deal with themes of family legacy and more, in deciding what to do with an heirloom, the family piano. Notions of weighing one's own family history and legacy against sacrificing it to help push forward in meaningful ways is at the core of the story, the hosts discuss their own perspectives in how to balance staying rooted in Black history without remaining stuck there and striving for progress personally and in a larger societal sense. The movie stars Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, Danielle Deadwyler, Ray Fisher, Michael Potts, Corey Hawkins, and Skylar Aleece Smith.
