A short mockumentary following LaJoye Watkins, a reclusive black woman living in Brooklyn. She is determined to tell a secret she has harbored all her life: electronic music was actually started by black southerners in the 1920s. Exploring themes of loneliness, revenge, and reclamation, LaJoye takes us on a historical tour de force and a journey towards a spiritual awakening of her own.
