Race to Be Human
Talking about identity and belonging, without the apprehension.
People find the words for race, identity and belonging, and talk without the fear of getting it wrong. A documentary and an evidence-based one-month or year-long program — for a school, a workplace or a community.

Race to Be Human is about respect and trust, through the eyes of youth, families, mental health experts, employers and educators.
The program offers strategies for self-reflection, connection and accountability — so that as individuals we are more aware, and as communities we can honor family, dignity and respect, and pursue belonging for all.
The film weaves real stories together with kids, parents, brain scientists, educators, mental health practitioners, technologists and diversity and inclusion experts.

The film in short chapter modules, each with prompts for discussion and reflection.

Expert answers

Guides
Group leader guides and session plans for whoever runs the session.
