"Motherland is a poignant story about love, friendship, identity-and the music, poetry, and places that shape us."—Lesley Weidenbener, Managing Editor, Indianapolis Business Journal
In an unusual moment, an unusual friendship forces a young Black man and a middle-aged White man to reevaluate what home really means. The Edge of Motherland follows the two men, connected through the tech company where they both work and their shared musical and poetic passions.
Disillusioned by their state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the racial strife of 2020, they embark on a transformative journey out of Indianapolis. Along the way, they confront the emotional toll of the pandemic, reevaluate their beliefs, and forge a deeper bond through shared adversity. Against the backdrop of an eerie, fractured America, their quest captures the struggles of a nation grappling with isolation, resilience, and the pursuit of hope in uncertain times.
