"Stay Out of the Sun" delves into the pervasive yet often overlooked issue of colorism within our communities. Through testimonies of people of color of varying ages, occupations, and locations in the United States, the documentary explores the impacts of colorism on self-esteem and identity in just 15 minutes. Notable figures such as Celeste Crenshaw, producer of BET, social activist Seema Hari, and colorism educator Jyoti Gupta, shed light on how colorism intersects with systemic racism, gender inequality, and beauty standards. As the film progresses, viewers are challenged to confront their own prejudices and encouraged to unpack how they've been taught to perceive lightness as good and darkness as bad. "Stay Out of the Sun" offers an opportunity for introspection and empathy.
