What will this mean in a nation tormented by race? Born black, Jewish and deaf, Steele battled childhood bullying. Then, as an adult, he battled identity politics in both education and employment. He believed that holding onto his individuality, rather than his skin color, was part of America\u0027s promise to him. However, Steele\u0027s belief in this promise was shaken when his son was denied entrance to a public school for refusing to name his \u0022primary race.\u0022 Why does race still matter so much? To find out, Steele journeys into uncharted territory where he takes on identity politics through interviews with multiracial individuals and through thoughtful re-examinations of headline controversies -- the George Zimmerman trial, a conference on white privilege, and the DeBlasio campaign. The result is an emotional, yet unbiased look at race that Adam Carolla called \u0022eye-opening,\u0022 that National Review declared \u0022fascinating,\u0022 and that Hollywood In Toto said \u0022demolished Identity Politics.\u0022","wins":0,"nominations":0,"casts":[{"name":"Justin Gordon","code":"nm1653291","characters":"Narrator"},{"name":"Eli Steele","code":"nm1628215","characters":"Self - Father to Jack \u0026 June"},{"name":"Louis Armstrong","code":"nm0001918","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Jesse Jackson","code":"nm0413666","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Rachel Dolezal","code":"nm7390131","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Marcia Dawkins","code":"nm11313757","characters":"Self - Professor \u0026 Author"},{"name":"Eric Jackolski","code":"nm11313758","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Angie McKee","code":"nm11313759","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Clay Cane","code":"nm4001570","characters":"Self - Journalist Jersey City"},{"name":"Tim Groseclose","code":"nm10881293","characters":"Self - UCLA Political Science \u0026 Economics Professor"},{"name":"Richard Sander","code":"nm11313760","characters":"Self - Professor of Law: UCLA Law School"},{"name":"Katelin Wagner","code":"nm11313761","characters":"Self - College Applicant"},{"name":"Jennifer Ceci","code":"nm4409453","characters":"Self - UCLA, B.A., Harvard Ed.M: Film Production Management"},{"name":"Rita Steele","code":"nm3133241","characters":"Self - Grandmother to Jack \u0026 June"},{"name":"Hillary Clinton","code":"nm0166921","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Donald Trump","code":"nm0874339","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Scott Brown","code":"nm3768942","characters":"Self - Massachusetts Senator"},{"name":"Elizabeth Warren","code":"nm2143891","characters":"Self"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"deaf man"},{"text":"multiracial"},{"text":"reference to louis armstrong"},{"text":"identity politics"},{"text":"racial discrimination"}],"production":[{"id":"co0127793","text":"Man of Steel Productions"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt13056736","title":"What Killed Michael Brown?"}]}
