{television} black white; season one (2006)

With help from Hollywood makeup tricks, this FX Networks reality series examines race and racism by having two families -- one white, one black -- trade ethnicities to experience life from the other's perspective. Sharing a California home during the course of the six-week experiment, the families are forced to engage each other in a setting that frequently produces provocative interactions and stunning revelations.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** What an amazing show. I watched it all in one sitting. Ice Cube has proven himself to be not only an entertainer with a message, but also a concerned cultural and social leader with a message. I would love to see another season with two more families from different backgrounds than the first set of families.
