Skin

i absolutely adore this movie.

[h/t feministing]

the meaning is simple, yet complex. the music enunciates the words, without overtaking them. the editing and filming captures you, yet keeps you at a far distance.

why do we judge each other based on the skin we were born with? it's as if we had a choice to be brown, darker brown, lighter brown. it's as if we had the choice to have blue, green, hazel eyes.

we judge each other on an individual/societal level on a choice we didn't have. amazing.
