Synopsis:
The conversations we have but don't want to...that's 'The Talk.'
Scenes of black parents openly sharing truths about bias their children will experience.
Synopsis:
For most parents in America, “The Talk” means that awkward conversation with their son and daughter about the birds and the bees. But for black parents, there is an entirely different “talk” they must have with their children—one that many families don’t even know exists. It’s the conversation about what it means to grow up black in America and the things they’ll face along the way because of their race—from overcoming biased standards of beauty, to surviving encounters with the police.
The film spans several decades to show that while many things have changed in our world, for too many generations, “The Talk” has remained the same.
With “The Talk” our goal was to create a film that most black Americans, regardless of their background, could relate to in some way. And we wanted everyone else to feel the privilege in not being able to relate to the conversations depicted in the film. Because until “The Talk” is heard by everyone, nothing will change.
