BUT YOU’RE NOT BLACK
A SHORT DOCUMENTARY
A Chinese-Caribbean-Canadian woman, driven by people’s inability to separate her skin colour from her culture, tries to own the Trinidadian identity she knows should feel like hers.
Based on the experiences of writer/director Danielle Ayow, BUT YOU’RE NOT BLACK challenges the correlation between race, skin colour and culture with a specific focus on Chinese-Caribbean in North America.
