Community members listen to Mr. Bennie tell the untold stories of the Swan Lake Association and his plans to support a new generation of Black farmers on the land. As they walk to the bush harbor church, started after slavery, they feel the presence of their ancestors leading them to this moment. Justin Hardiman, a black, Mississippi raised photographer captures the day, and current world events make the moment even more special and the calls to return back to the land more urgent.
