Family, legacy, and female power are some of the prominent themes in to this latest offering from Jay-Z (aka Hova aka Shawn Carter).

The context of the short film (calling it a music video would not to it justice, especially with the A-List cast AND Beyonce and Blue Ivy) idea of ripples in time, our present actions touching future generations, and a step further what they would say or not say about us, is something I reflect on periodically.

Assuming we avoid global calamity, our descendants will know more about us (the real us) than we could our parents and grand parents). Think what an AI could render out of all your social media posts!

Back to the film, we open scene in 2444 tracing back through key points of history (American) through the Carter lineage to present day (2018).

I enjoyed the film's visuals and strong diverse cast.
