This true story follows the life of Tracy, a young woman facing the ghosts of her troubled past, in a fight to keep her son from the same demons that almost destroyed her. Covering a 20 year period, archival footage of Tracey’s own difficult youth is juxtaposed with James’s unfolding drama. The film creates a rare look at societal issues through the eyes of two generations in one family. Tracy’s son, James, at 26 years old is the subject of the AFF 2014 Opening Night feature film, Jamesy Boy. If I Could documents his back-story. (USA, 2001, 99 min., Documentary Feature)
