In
this revealing documentary, eleven people with a range of backgrounds
discuss what it is like being of mixed racial heritage within the
context of North America. Each of the participants presents their unique
outlook on growing up mixed and the challenges they’ve faced in their
lives.
No two experiences are identical when speaking about their journey of
how each person came to perceive themselves. Many speak of the
difference between how they saw themselves versus how the world at large
treated them. There are several instances of being “othered” by friends
and relatives alike or how seeds of doubt were planted at childhood to
disrupt their own sense of self. The interviewees voice unique concerns
about acceptance, culture, and society and how even their own
self-identification undergoes shifts.
