The film is a journey of exploration for Ella Murtha as both daughter and custodian of the Tish Murtha archive, a chance to elevate and preserve a legacy that has been lost and to tell the story of an artist and woman outside of the mother' that existed for her or the version of Tish claimed within dominant narratives of the 70s and 80s photography from the people who knew Tish and the images she left behind.
