The Big Payback chronicles the fight for reparations in America through the stories of two pioneering women. In Evanston, Illinois, Alderwoman Robin Rue Simmons champions the first tax-funded reparations program for Black residents, navigating community division and national scrutiny. At the same time, Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee continues her decades-long push for H.R. 40, a bill to study reparations on a national scale. Through their parallel journeys, the documentary examines the ongoing struggle for justice and the complex, contentious path toward reparations in the United States, highlighting the challenges and triumphs in the pursuit of justice and equity.
