Despite 15 years of diversity programs and initiatives, many of our discussions about race remain mired in confusion. Even a casual observer cannot help but notice how structural racism is ignored, how multiculturalism is confused with equality, and how many campuses remain hamstrung in their efforts to become more inclusive and welcoming of everyone. The University of California, Berkeley students in this film - over the course of a 16-week intergroup dialogue program - probe and confront each other about such issues as underrepresentation, the limitations of multiculturalism, social equity, affirmative action, and their own responsibilities for making a difference

The way we talk about race -- I'm more Black than ever -- A lot of us are getting pushed -- Lucky to be- -- I can be sure my race will not work against me -- To be an American -- Part of the problem, part of the solution -- Just like me -- If you identify, pull yourself free -- A paradigm shift -- How to go beyond this class
