Vic Sarin's film is an interesting and informative perspective on the significance of skin tone within cultures of colour.
It is a film about colour, not race; a very poignant look at superstition, marginalization, shame, and bigotry.
Sarin takes us on a journey from India to Brazil, to the Philippines, and Tanzania with the hope of inspiring a catharsis among sufferers of discrimination.
The confusion and contradiction of choosing colour: whites striving to be blacker: blacks striving to be whiter: areas where being black can cost you your life: areas where being white can cost you your life: people believing one thing but promoting the other. How did it get this way, and where and when will the insanity end?
The film is informative and surprising in its message, and opens wide the door to discussion. Everyone of all races and colours should see this film. It shines a much brighter light on the international perceptions of skin tone.
