“UnMasked” is a compelling tale about how our actions and decisions help form our family legacy, and our ability to choose our path forward.
UnMasked” follows the first-person narrative of three generations of women, 48-year-old Jen, her 16-year-old daughter, Kylie, and Jen’s 73-year-old mother, Patti.
