Synopsis

A magical tale of passion and courage based on the true events of Mississippi Freedom Summer 1964. Nine-year-old Jamal from Minneapolis is a jellybean counting whiz kid and wins the school jellybean counting contest. His Grandma Lynn wished that Jamal would have been around when her mother was in Mississippi and was never able to vote because she couldn’t guess the number of jellybeans in a jar. Jamal wished he could have lived during that time too to help his great grandmother, Ma’ dear. Well, his dream comes true with the help of a tiny and beautiful butterfly lady, Queen Azina. Azina magically sends Jamal, his eleven-year-old brother Jordan, and their German Shepherd dog Pharaoh back in time to 1964 Mississippi. They meet civil rights activist leader Fannie Lou Hamer and others with the mission to find Ma’ dear and count the number of jellybeans in the jar so she can register her to vote. It will take much patience, courage and determination with some of the toughest forms of voter suppression in history to make that happen. Join Jamal and Jordan as they visit the Mississippi Delta as Freedom fighters.
