- Summary:
- Looks at the lives of African Americans living in Paris from the nineteenth century to the present day.
- "For more than a century, African American artists, authors, musicians and others have traveled to Paris to liberate themselves from the racism of the United States. What made these African Americans choose France? Why were the French fascinated by African Americans? And to what extent was and is France truly colorblind? Alan Govenar's new film investigates these questions and examines the ways that racism has plagued not only African Americans fleeing the United States, but Africans and people of color in France today" Film's webiste https://www.mythofacolorblindfrance.com/
