A Day in Black and White on AllMovie

A non-narrative comedy that explores issues of race in contemporary America, A Day In Black and White concerns two friends who are students, identified only as Black Man and White Man. Black Man has to deliver a speech in class on race relations, and the two begin to discuss both the speech and the larger ideas involved; and, as one might expect, they have decidedly different views on the subject. As the pair go through their day, the argument continues and others add their opinions on everything from popular culture and professional sports to the O.J. Simpson case. The debut film from writer and director Desmond Hall, A Day In Black and White was shown at the 1999 South by Southwest Film Festival.
