Becoming Black - a podcast by TVO | Steve Paikin

Imagine that your parents and brother are white, but your skin colour is dark, and you are being told that this is pure coincidence. This is what happened to filmmaker Ines Johnson-Spain, who grew up in East Berlin in the 1960s. In her documentary "Becoming Black," Johnson-Spain tracks the astonishing strategies of denial from her childhood and documents finding her Togolese family. Johnson-Spain talks about her experiences and the film.
