A Film About Races
Directed by: Jonathan Marc Baker - 92 min. - United Kingdom
film website
The most revealing, honest and laugh-out-loud funny documentary about race you will ever see. Follow Welshman Paul Duddridge as, with the help of some of the world's greatest writers, thinkers and professors, he attempts to push aside society's taboos and find out what 'race' really is. Along the way he attempts to solve the middle east peace crisis, buys hundreds of twinkies and desperately tries to find contestants to join him for a mini-Olympics staged in Los Angeles where teams are split by race rather than nationality. There is a serious point to the seemingly irreverent approach: if we can't easily define race, why can it sometimes seem so easy to define racism?
