A Ghanaian-American filmmaker looks to bridge the divide between his African pedigree and American birthright by confronting the question:'Who am I, and where do I belong?' Born and raised in the United States to Ghanaian parents, Sean Addo, a product of two different cultures, African-American and African. Propelled by his fear of the loss of his Ghanaian culture, Sean sets off on his quest to clarify his identity. He looks to connect to his African heritage through dance, food, and language. In the process he challenges what it means to be'Black' in America, and shares a similar story of the new American in a growing multicultural society.
