A 2-minute clip from White Like Me featuring Tim Wise. Available Fall 2013.
White
Like Me, based on the work of acclaimed anti-racist educator and author
Tim Wise, explores race and racism in the U.S. through the lens of
whiteness and white privilege. In a stunning reassessment of the
American ideal of meritocracy and claims that we’ve entered a
post-racial society, Wise offers a fascinating look back at the
race-based white entitlement programs that built the American middle
class, and argues that our failure as a society to come to terms with
the legacy of white privilege continues to perpetuate racial inequality
and race-driven political resentments today. For years, Tim Wise’s
bestselling books and spellbinding lectures have challenged some of our
most basic assumptions about race in America. White Like Me is the first
film to bring the full range of his work to the screen — to show how
white privilege continues to shape individual attitudes, electoral
politics, and government policy in ways too many white people never stop
to think about. Features bestselling author Michelle Alexander, Harvard
law professor Charles Ogletree, legal scholar Imani Perry, and others. -
