Set against a backdrop of societal collapse and racial tension, 'My Monticello' unveils a group's fight for survival. Da'Naisha Love, a direct descendant of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, leads a band of Charlottesville neighbors as they seek refuge in Jefferson's historical home from a white supremacist assault. With a future rife with racial and environmental crises, Jocelyn Nicole Johnson's characters—each battling America's fraught legacies—pursue a sense of belonging amidst chaos. This debut traces their desperate quest for home, both as a physical sanctuary and a psychological anchor, in the face of relentless adversity.
