BROWNWHITE cover image
BrownWhite is a short informational film that I enjoyed watching; it is simple and straightforward, feeding you with relevant information about biracial children and clearing common misunderstanding that many tend to have.

BrownWhite shows us the perspective of Israeli biracial children from different age groups and the challenges the kids face as they grow up, because they are neither "brown" nor "white."

Growing up, I was naive and had the belief that mixed people can simply fit in with either of their environments. This film shows how the Israeli biracial children undergo the pressure of having to choose between their racial identity and tend to be discriminated, regardless. Some would find it hard to grow up with a true identity because of this. The film contains clips of young kids talking about their personal experiences of what they dealt with and how they identify themselves. This made an impact on me as it portrays the message quite clearly. The documentary develops in such a way that it captures your attention from start to finish. We see how this topic tends to be quite sensitive for some.

The concept behind BrownWhite is to inform and teach people to be more understanding when talking to a biracial person and to respect the choices they make regarding their racial identity. It also encourages biracial kids to embrace their true identity and be happy with who they are, rather than who they are not. I give Brown/White 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. I recommend this for the KIDS FIRST! Film Festival. By Eunnet C., KIDS FIRST!

From the perspective of Israeli biracial kids, BrownWhite explores how skin color influences the development of identity. Weaving their lived experiences with findings from academic research, the film reveals their dilemmas around identity in a world that's more complicated than brown or white. From Israel
