In Season two, Kwabena is finally on the brink of his first major directing opportunity when he’s offered the chance to helm a radical, "color-blind" historical drama.

As Kwabena peers behind the curtain of a so-called progressive industry, he's forced to confront uncomfortable truths about power, authorship, representation, and the compromises required to succeed.
