James the boy in question has a raging toothache that necessitates a trip to the dentist. His mother (played by Emmy-winner Olivia Cole) accompanies James to town on an eye-opening odyssey where the boy gains valuable insights into poverty racism - and his own sense of pride. With an exciting musical score by Webster Lewis this multi-award winning film explores a child's discovery that the world is a complicated place... where things are never truly black or white... only shades of gray. - Olivia Cole James Bond III Margaret Avery
