For her feature documentary debut with A MOTHER APART, filmmaker Laurie Townshend followed poet, orator, LGBTQ+ advocate, and feminist activist Staceyann Chin over 6 years as she sought answers on why her mother abandoned her as a child in Jamaica, and making intentional efforts to correct past wrongs as a parent for her own daughter Zuri.
