31:47Now PlayingHollywood has a long history of “passing movies”—films in which Black characters pass for white—usually starring white actors. Even as these films have attempted to depict the devastating effect of racism in America, they have trafficked in tired tropes about Blackness.

Hall tells the story of how her movie came to life, and how making the film helped her grapple with her own family’s secrets around race and identity.
