  • "Former Harlem Globetrotter Mel Davis fathered two sons. One was with a white woman whom he loved but couldn't marry in the racial climate of the sixties. The other son was with a black woman with whom he had an unhappy marriage. Hubert Davis, the film director, was the biracial son who for many years didn't know his father. The film movingly explores the pain of sons growing up with an absent father and its effect on their mothers."
