It is a moving portrait incorporating interviews, family footage and archival materials to recount history through the eyes of Jackson’s two grandmothers, Rosemary Brown, (1930-2003) and Ruth Horricks-Sujir, (1925-2015). The documentary was intended as a time capsule for Jackson, their grandson, who at the time was 7 years old.
