WHAT IS IT TO BE WHITE?

"Race in the United States is at once an utter illusion and a material reality, a fiction and a scientific fact." —Lee D. Baker, Anthropologist

Is white a color? In America, whiteness is often treated as a taken-for-granted norm, an invisibility so pervasive that many whites today consider themselves absolved from race matters. In exploring this idea, the feature length documentary White: A Study in Color will take on a topic which has sometimes brought discomfort, sometimes brought anger, but more commonly has been avoided in most dialogues about race in America: what it means to be white.

(In production, est. time 90 min.)
