of the documentary film:
THE COLOR OF FEAR
Video Trailer
"It is an intimate portrayal of what most
folks
of color go through on a daily basis.
It is confrontational, intimate and contains
extremely honest dialogue. This film provides
great stimulus for audience discussion. For
many Euro-Americans, this film is their
Racism 101 course. For many folks of color
this film is a perfect opening for them to talk
about their personal experiences and the
effect that racism has had
on their families and communities."
