1000% Me: Growing Up Mixed plot

With humor and sensitivity, filmmaker and comedian W. Kamau Bell treats the joys and challenges of growing up as a child of parents of different backgrounds. He does this through conversations with children and families in the San Francisco Bay Area, including his own children. He realizes that his children, born to a black father and a white mother, will grow up in a country still deeply divided by race and thus have very different experiences in America than he and his wife. In a series of conversations, Bell explores how these young people deal with identity issues in a world that can ask them to choose sides. Thoughtful exchanges with families reveal the many joys and complexities of what it means to raise multiracial children.
