PERFECT BLEND, By Maya Milenovic Workman

Film Synopsis:

Perfect Blend (2009) chronicles the lives of young people of mixed race - specifically black and white - and their experiences as they struggle to form their identities.  Doing so proves to be a challenge in American society, where, despite the progress made from the Civil Rights movement, our culture continually harbors unresolved issues with race and racial mixing.  Workman points out that this tension and injustices make a freeway into our educational system and, consequently, inhibits kids from learning and sustaining personal growth; at a young age they already sense that a person’s skin color determines how society will treat them.
