| Meanwhile |
Meanwhile is a non-linear exploration of race, gender, sexual orientation, poetry, painting, sculpture, and dance, history and the future, life and death. It is softly contemplative, with music to match that mood.
America in the 21st century is a tangle of contradictions. In many ways, we have made tangible progress in dismantling racism, and yet white supremacy is still very much a visible presence. We ended the legal structure of chattel slavery, but we have done far too little to undo its legacy, often preferring to cover our eyes to shield our hearts from the reality that there is still so much more that needs to be done.
This gentle film is also deeply thought-provoking, very much a MUST SEE, most especially for anyone who would pretend that America has put racism in the rear-view mirror.
