Documentary Recommendation 018.
The Color of Fear. This is a 1990’s documentary following conversations within a multi-cultural group, about stereotypical (for lack of a better word) racism, inter-ethnic racism, white supremacy, and shame. Not only is this film honest and important, it peels back layers that I forget exist, even as a person who actively works against racism. It reminds me about the continued importance of vulnerable, safe conversations about race, and the important fight against the “everyone is the same” mentality that is held by well-intentioned people. I especially appreciate the conversations around inter-ethnic racism, which is often over-looked in multi-cultural conversations involving white people because explicit conversations about white supremacy take precedence. Excuse the poor quality of the trailer – again this is from the 90’s… and still 100% pertinent.
