Talk: Race in America, The

Alternative title: The Talk: Race in America
Synopsis: A conversation between parents of colour and their children about how to behave if they are ever stopped by the police is becoming increasingly common in homes and communities across the USA. In many households, "The Talk," as it is called, usually contains phrases like this: If you are stopped by the police: Always answer ‘yes sir, no sir’; never talk back; don’t make any sudden movements; don’t put your hands in your pockets...A diverse set of filmmakers speak to parents, children, family members, academics, police force members and community activists, to illustrate the issue from multiple points of view and bring the discussion out of the kitchens and living rooms and into the public sphere.
