This show offers 13 short episodes about everyday people who experience life milestones—from a new baby to a golden anniversary—and learn more about their family history.
In the opening episode, a young dancer prepares for graduate school. She and her mother explore their African heritage and the influence of African music. Thanks to a research team at Ancestry.com <www.ancestry.com>, the women learn the identity of the mother’s birth father and his ancestors who were enslaved. The daughter integrates these discoveries into a dance audition that she hopes will shape her future.
