What

We teamed up with award-winning director and motion design artist Mark Lopez and his studio Silkworm to bring Richard Rothstein’s pivotal book The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How our Government Segregated America to visual life in a fully animated 18 minute documentary film. With over 200K views on vimeo, a coveted Vimeo Staff Pick, a premiere at the American Documentary Film Festival, and countless screenings across the country the impact of the film is growing quickly.

Examine the forgotten history of how our federal, state and local governments unconstitutionally segregated every major metropolitan area in America through law and policy.
