"America Needs a Racial Facial" description:

"American Needs a Racial Facial" is a short, 8 minute film about race in

America. It provides a blur of fascinating images and video - historical
and contemporary - depicting both the division and blending that has
characterized the history and treatment of people of color in this
country. Beginning with this country's history of slavery and
discrimination against African Americans, eradication and colonization
of Native Americans, exclusion of Asian Americans and exploitation of
Mexican and Latin Americans, Racial Facial depicts a visual panorama
which encompasses the history of oppression and discrimination that
has led to continuation of tension, unrest and anger among all
Americans.

The San Francisco Black Film Festival thanks Congregation Emanu-EL and
its Unity Group for hosting the film screening and panel discussion. The
Unity Group is an evolving group of multicultural community leaders
answering the call of Rabbi Beth Singer and Rabbi Jonathan Singer of
Congregation Emanu-El, Malcolm Gissen, and Ronald Thompson to come
together and explore ways to address racism in the City of San
Francisco.
