Official Selections
| United States | 48 MINUTES
Comedy, Black & African American Diaspora Stories, Narrative, Expressions of Black Freedom

Our Ancestors Were Messy explores Black history through the lens of drama! In each episode, host Nichole Hill and a guest unpack a story ripped from the society pages and gossip columns of popular pre-Civil Rights era Black newspapers. They wade through schemes, scandals, and ancestral shade to see how much we've changed from our elders and how much we've remained the same.
