This movie is based on the true story of a dark skinned girl born in the 1950's to two white South African parents. It goes through her and her family's struggles dealing with her skin tone from youth into adulthood. Without, giving too much away it's a very touching story that I believe everyone should see.
The most interesting thing to witness in this movie is how Sandra's (main character) parent's view her. To them she is completely white because they are her parents, despite her skin tone. The way they treat other black Africans is interesting because in reality their daughter is a black African, yet they are just like the rest of the white South Africans.
I recommend everyone to see this film because it is very touching and will leave you thinking deeply on what it means to be black and how despite what genetics may say or who you come from; if you look black, you are black.
