Sheila Turner Seed was an acclaimed journalist in a particularly turbulent decade in American history, between the Sixties and Seventies. The peak of her career was a series of interviews with photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bruce Davidson, and Gordon Parks, whose portrait work reflected and shaped the zeitgeist. Seed died young, leaving behind a rich archive of audio reels, photographs, and journals, as well as one daughter, who, years later, embarks on a journey in the footsteps of a mother she barely remembers. In her deeply moving and captivating documentary, Rachel Seed pieces together other people’s experiences, stories, and impressions of her mother to create the portrait of a groundbreaking woman, a driven “life-aholic” full of curiosity and eager to take on the world. In the process, she searches for the missing piece in her own life amid moments frozen in photographs.
