What Black Like Me Is About
The film is based on what the journalist and writer John Griffin went through. Griffin was a white American. For a period he changed the colour of his skin. He then travelled in America as a Black man and recorded what he saw. The same bus, the same street and the same job application opened to him in an entirely different way. The film tells that experiment and the treatment he met. The account comes from a real event. It shows racial segregation from inside that experience rather than from outside. James Whitmore and Roscoe Lee Browne take the leads in Carl Lerner’s American film of 1964.
