Race is a four letter word [videorecording] / The National Film Board of Canada presents ; written and directed by Sobaz Benjamin ; producer, Annette Clarke.
Originally produced as a documentary film in 2006. Participants: Doris Braithwaite, Tim Dunn, Diane Rutherford, Camille Turner.
Summary:
"Director Sobaz Benjamin highlights Canadian contradictions and conflicts around race. Heroically, he exposes himself, too: a black man who grew up hating himself, trying to bleach his skin with chemicals, and then struggling to appreciate the meaning of his culture and heritage as an 'Afro-Saxon' Briton, then Grenadian and now Haligonian-Nova Scotian-Canadian. We also meet a white man who is culturally and psychologically black, a black woman who wants to be considered iconically Canadian, another black woman who retreats to England rather than continue to face Canada's racial cold war" -- Container.
