| | | Colour Blind is a film about subtle racism and its daily impact on teenagers in secondary school. To outsiders, Princess Margaret Senior Secondary in Canada looks like an ordinary high school. To teachers and students however it was a school full of racial rage, segregation and violence. Its troubles began in 1995 when the predominately white student body became a predominately ethnic majority. Five years later, we follow five teenagers as they learn tolerance for each other's differences. Colour Blind documents the painful and confusing process of overcoming racial conflicts. The DVD's purpose is to encourage young students to examine their own behaviours and attitudes and to ask probing questions of themselves about how they react to racism within their own school.
