(Short Documentary) - Shades of the Border

One island, two countries, many skin colors. A history of racial prejudice divides the island of Hispaniola.

More about Shades of the Border from filmmaker Patrick Smith

The racial issues that exist on the island of Hispaniola can hardly be described as "black and white." Perceptions of race among Haitians and Dominicans have been evolving (or devolving) over several centuries of political, military, and social unrest, and can't be consolidated into a brief explanation or short documentary.
