Until The Lion Tells The Story The Hunter Will Always Be The Hero
The Great Migration: “All That Glitters Aint Gold”


Welcome to 1900s Bronzeville, the heart of Chicago’s Black Metropolis. The Thomas family arrives hopeful and is met by 6,000 National Guard troops deployed to quell a race riot.
Linda and Ben prepare their nephew Trey to lead the family through a big city backdrop of segregation, violence, and corruption.
This whileBlack family saga is steeped in Chicago history and exploding with action. "If Chicago Could Talk" is a gripping tale of resistance, heroes, heroines, and heartache.
