I didn't think about the ways in which being a White identified person provides me with a different experience than a Person Of Color before watching the video, "True Colors". The video, "True Colors", allowed me to see a visual representation of how the world in which we live operates differently based on different locations as well as a variety of intersectional parts of a person's identity.

One cannot honestly consider a story if they cannot relate. In the film, there is not one Caucasian individual, which is why the film did not get as much attention as it should have.
