A man gets his DNA test results in and is surprised to find a mysterious West African wood mask included in the box. One that give him nightmarish sight into his ancestors’ slave dungeon whenever worn. Tackling the psychological side of ancestry testing, Ghanaian-American filmmaker Sean Addo has crafted a different kind of ghost story. Phenomenally directed and performed, emotional and disturbing, this is the real deal. – Mitch Davis
