An emotional new trailer for the upcoming FX documentary, Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur, has been released.

The two-minute clip offers an intimate look at their relationship and political ideologies, with rare photos and interview clips, all set to a bare version of Pac's hit, "Dear Mama" from 1995's Me Against The World.

“My mother taught me to analyze society and not be quiet,” he says in the clip during a 1988 interview. “If there’s something on my mind, speak it. Because – I gotta reiterate it – my mother was a Black Panther and she was very involved in the movement.”

In another clip, Afeni offers: “It was very difficult for me to be a mom, but I knew very well how to protect my children."

Allen Hughes shared info about what he wanted to accomplish with the five-part docuseries. “Wherever possible, we tried to find archival footage that hadn’t been seen so there’s a lot that we have in the five parts,” he explained. “There’s also audio that’s never been heard. And not just some of his acapellas and vocals, there is a lot of stuff of 2Pac from his baby years that had never been seen.”

Dear Mama premiers on FX on April 21, with the remaining three episodes releasing each Friday. The show will also be available on Hulu the following day.
