Based on a voice note received 500 years after the “start of slavery,” nobody’s word seeks to complicate notions of ancestors, inheritance and implication across time and space. Within the film, Camara Taylor digitizes and disintegrates the family archive in order to reframe accounts, destabilize claims, and inhabit the spaces between fact and fiction.
