Colour Blind (2009 film)

Colour Blind is a 2009 short film about racism, intended to bring attention to a UK audience of the dangers of seeing racism everywhere. The film stars Wil Johnson and Robert Cavanah. The premise of the film is based on the suggestion that white people often never see skin colour, but black people always do.

Through a chance encounter, two men meet through a mutual friend, Peter, who is arriving late for their meeting. John Robert Cavanah is a white British liberal who does not have any black friends, and Dan Wil Johnson is a black Briton who understands that he lives in a white society and needs to engage with it to succeed.The film initially follows the viewpoint of John, showing how cultural references and shared experiences impact on how he sees Dans skin colour. Through a mundane conversation about work, girlfriends and friendships John gradually watches Dans skin colour go from a dark black to almost white, as he discovers that they have a lot in common. By the end of the film John is no longer conscious of Dans skin colour. ........
