White in America

About this movie

Whiteness is the unspoken force at the core of racial injustice in America. It shapes our culture, dictates policy, and drives our deepest, most emotional beliefs about ourselves and others. But all too often, whiteness is hidden, normalized, and made invisible by the powers that be. Brutally honest, eye-opening--and accessible to audiences of all political persuasions--WHITE IN AMERICA is the first major feature documentary to examine this powerful unseen force at the center of our politics, turning the lens on whiteness like never before. WHITE IN AMERICA follows the journeys of three white protagonists as they grapple with the consequences of whiteness in their own lives--and the lives they've impacted. From an Appalachian redneck born into a proud coal mining family, to a former white supremacist in Huntington Beach, to a pastor in North Carolina who demands his congregants face uncomfortable truths, this film will take audiences across the country in search of a more perfect Union. Woven throughout the film, serving as powerful counterpoint, are the stories of BIPOC thought leaders forced to reckon with the impact of whiteness on their day to day lives. WHITE IN AMERICA is entertaining, compelling, powerful---and unlike many traditional "social justice" docs, it's designed to reach a wide audience. WHITE IN AMERICA speaks to the largest demographic in America--and the one most susceptible to the lie that racial divisions will help them materially: poor and working class white folks. Gripping, provocative, moving, and challenging, WHITE IN AMERICA takes us on a powerful journey to the revelation that we can (and must) work together to form a more perfect Union.
