MISSING is a magic realist exploration of women’s relationships with black popular music in the 
U.S. Our story begins aboard the slave ship Trouvadore, which mysteriously went missing in 1795.
Aboard the ship, three women devise a plan to escape via the magic of their music. 
Through music, they are transported into the future, in search of home.
