This thought-provoking short explores how skin color influences the development of identity in a group of biracial Israeli kids. Weaving the children’s lived experiences with findings from academic research, the filmmaker uses verbatim interviews to reveal how personal identity is more complicated for these children than simple brown or white.

BrownWhite

A searching journey into the souls of four people who, after searing pain, develop strengths they never had before. Bushra, Rami, Maytal, and Bassam, women and men who each lost a child or parent in violent conflict, belong to a controversial grassroots movement—Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families. These brokenhearted people are resolved to transform their grief into a bridge for reconciliation and hope. The film follows their paths from devastating trauma to courageous activism. Despite fierce political and family opposition, they refuse to give up. Singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen makes a brief inspirational appearance.
