WAYS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR COMMUNITY

A film by Lee Mun Wah

THE COLOR OF FEAR is a film about the pain and anguish that racism has caused in the lives of eight North American men of Asian, European, Latino, and African descent. Out of their confrontations and struggles to understand and trust each other emerges an emotional and insightful portrayal into the type of dialogue most of us fear, but hope will happen sometime in our lifetime.

"This remarkable film should be viewed and discussed by all people who want to create a society in which justice and equality are living realities."

Robert Alien, Editor of The Black Scholar
