The Color of Friendship [Film] about the Friendship between two girls

Too many films about race relations and prejudice are either geared toward adults only or are so much about the past that they are too graphic and cannot be shown to children. This is not the case with The Color of Friendship.

The Color of Friendship is a 2000 television film based on actual events about the friendship between two girls; Mahree & Piper, one from the United States and the other from apartheid South Africa, who learn about tolerance and friendship. The film was directed by Kevin Hooks, based on a script by Paris Qualles, and stars Lindsey Haun and Shadia Simmons.

Inspired by actual events comes this Emmy Award-winning movie about two girls from different worlds who learn the ultimate lesson about tolerance and friendship. When African-American Congressman Ron Dellums and his daughter Piper (Shadia Simmons, ZENON: THE ZEQUEL), greet their South African exchange student Mahree (Lindsey Haun, BRING IT ON), they’re surprised to discover she’s white. But no one’s more surprised than Mahree herself, a product of the Apartheid system, who’s been raised to view dark-skinned people as second-class citizens. Only if Piper and Mahree can learn to see past their differences will they discover the friendship of a lifetime.

“The Color of Friendship” is based on the real-life story of the family of Congressman Ronald V.Dellums and their struggle to help end apartheid in South Africa in 1977.
As Dellums, Carl Lumbly gives a strong and sensitive performance as a politician suddenly faced with the challenge of reshaping the attitudes of a white South African exchange student whose father is a policeman who has expressed his delight at the recent arrest of activist Stephen Biko before sending his daughter to America. As young exchange student, Mahree Bok, Lindsey Haun alternately displays arrogance, humility, and sensitivity as she comes to see the world in a different way.
