WHAT WE INHERIT

WHAT WE INHERIT

WORLD PREMIERE In a political landscape marked by racialized power structures, an Algerian-American filmmaker raised in Canada decides to turn the lens on his family. His ancestors, he discovered, did great things—and owned slaves. What We Inherit unpacks this complicated legacy and directly engages with descendants of the people held captive by the filmmaker’s ancestors. – Bedatri D. Choudhury
