This film asks America to talk about the causes and consequences of systemic inequity. In addition, designed for dialogue, the film works to disentangle internal beliefs, attitudes and pre-judgments within. Building on the viewing through group discussion provides the opportunity to builds skills to address the structural drivers of social and economic inequities. 

The film contains three sections that correspond to World Trust’s framing of the self-perpetuating system of racial inequity: 

  1. Social Determinants: History, Identity & Culture 
     
  2. Internal Components: Bias, Privilege, Internalized Racism 
     
  3. External Relationships: Interpersonal, Institutional, Structural 
     

In addition, the film features moving stories from twenty-four racial justice leaders including Amer Ahmed, Michael Benitez, Barbie-Danielle DeCarlo, Joy DeGruy, Harley Eagle, Ericka Huggins, Yuko Kodama, Peggy McIntosh, Rinku Sen, Tillman Smith and Tim Wise.
