“Dear Mama” is a deeply personal saga of mother and son, Afeni and Tupac Shakur. Afeni Shakur was a revolutionary intellect, a voice for the people, and a feminist amidst the macho milieu of the Black Panther Party. Tupac was a poet, political visionary and philosopher who became one of the greatest rap artists of all time. Their story chronicles the possibilities and contradictions of the United States from a time of revolutionary fervor to Hip Hop culture’s most ostentatious decade.
