I Am Human - Coming Soon from izzit.org!
"It's very tempting to say, let's just forget it. I'm a human being."
The multiracial population in America is increasing. And it seems like most people – and society as a whole – would like these folks to "pick a side." To identify as one race or the other.
But as demographics shift from separate races to more of a continuum, who gets to decide how these individuals identify?
Meet several multiracial individuals, and hear about their experiences. What implications does this have for our society? Can we move beyond race?

NEW RELEASE - Outside the Box from izzit.org
NEW RELEASE
Don’t ask me what I am. Ask me who I am.
Imagine trying to register your child for school and being forced to reduce a complex racial ancestry to one checkbox…
Eli Steele just wants to register his son Jack for kindergarten. He has no idea the journey this will begin, or the questions it will lead to.
They have a complex family history. Son of slaves. Daughter of the revolution. Holocaust survivors. Interracial marriage pioneers in an era of segregation and discrimination.
Jack and his younger sister June have an even more complicated ancestry when you consider their mother’s heritage – a Mormon settler and Mexican immigrant.
So when Eli is required to reduce Jack to a single checkmark in front of a race box…it doesn’t sit well with him.
Explore Eli, Jack, and June’s powerful story of individuality vs. group identity.
Do you fit inside a box?
Adapted from the award-winning documentary, How Jack Became Black.
