In this film, hailed as one of the most “profound meditations on race” (Chris Hayes, MSNBC) and selected for Sundance’s travelling Film Forward program, Lacey Schwartz explores her racial identity amid family secrets and eye-raising family tales. Born into a “typical” American Jewish family, Schwartz sensed that her looks didn’t quite match up with her biological ancestry. She sets out on a journey to discover just how “white” she actually is. Confronting her own parents and questioning how her childhood friends and community members never saw her as anything but Jewish, Schwartz takes the audience on an intimate and powerful exploration of identity.

Friday Screening features a Skype Q&A with Director Lacey Schwartz.

Sunday Screening features a Q&A with Tema Smith, DN Manager of Outreach and Engagement
