Cut off from their ancestry by the three-hundred-year-long slave trade which uprooted 12 million people from Africa, three people are given the opportunity, through DNA searches, to reconnect with their roots. Motherland explores the emotional terrain of being cut off from one's roots. By following these intense journeys of rediscovery and re-connection, the film speaks to a wide range of identity issues in the African diaspora.
