About The Film

Unveiling the stark realities of mistrust and fear shaping our imperfect world, our documentary dives deep into current race relations experienced by Black and White women in America. The film provides an unreserved exploration of the tensions and barriers fostering social mistrust, impeding progress towards racial equity. 

Choosing to focus on women is strategic. We recognize their role as gatekeepers of culture and agents for sustainable change. Supported by extensive research, women frequently emerge as key contributors to social progress, often being the first to identify community problems and motivate positive action. 

The core of the film centers on captivating footage from a weekend retreat in Cleveland, Ohio, where women from 11 states and all seven U.S. regions engage in a passionate dialogue about race relations in America. Expert interviews from national and international sources are featured alongside additional group interviews in Boston and Los Angeles. Moreover, the filmmakers travel to the heart of the Civil Rights era – Selma, Alabama – as part of the Social Trust Civil Rights Tour. 

Defined as both an emotion and a choice, social trust is explored through the emotional connections and disconnections between Black and White women. Trust in Black and White utilizes the transformative power of visual media to teach Me to We Skillsets. 

The documentary aims to challenge assumptions, broaden worldviews, and inspire viewers to contribute to a society that works for everyone. 

Accessible to a wide audience, including colleges, universities, corporations, non-profits, community and civic organizations, individual television viewers, and streaming subscribers, the film invites viewers to gain a comprehensive understanding of long-festering tensions and absorb diverse perspectives along the way. In the end, viewers experience the vulnerability and resilience of both Black and
White women.
