Domino: Interracial People and the Search for Identity

This program explores the stories of six interracial people and their quest to forge their own identities. Interracial people are often asked, "Which race do you consider yourself?" The program explores the kinds of issues that are triggered by this question: issues of identity, cultural isolation, and the search for community. Through intensely personal stories, each person profiled in the program recounts how their identity is affected by the experience of their parents’ history, family politics, and the hierarchies of race, gender roles, and class. Ultimately, these six individuals demonstrate how living intimately with two cultures can be a source of strength and enrichment. (45 minutes)
