It is the early 1920s.
The Volstead Act has recently prohibited the sale and consumption of alcohol, which means that an active black market has sprung up—a market controlled by legendary gangsters such as Al Capone.
Supplies must be secretly shipped from France to its outpost in Saint-Pierre, Newfoundland.
This dangerous and illegal trade involves flying primitive sea planes piloted by fearless aviators such as Bessie the “Black Angel” aka “Black Squaw”, whose Native American/African American heritage also makes her the target of the recently-revived and flourishing Ku Klux Klan.

Based on the history-making African-American/Native-American aviatrix, Bessie Coleman, she flies in the face of injustice, prejudice, and discrimination!
Be Here to Greet Her on February 5th!
