Raised in East London by white foster parents, British actor Jimmy grew up with little direct connection to his cultural roots. His sense of identity was shaped by what he knew, but also by what was missing — unanswered questions about where he came from and the creative legacy that preceded him. That gap is bridged by his older brother, Sola, who spent part of his childhood in Lagos and retained a stronger link to their Nigerian heritage. Together, the brothers begin a deeply personal journey into their father’s past. By walking the streets he once knew and uncovering stories long left untold, they start to understand the forces that shaped him. Along the way, hidden truths emerge, offering fresh insight into where Jimmy’s own artistic leanings may have originated. What begins as a search for answers becomes something far more profound, evolving into a powerful exploration of identity and inheritance, ultimately forming the blueprint for both an ancestral and artistic reawakening.
