Documentary about Mavin’s Gen Mix Tour is out
CVK
(Thanks to Mashadi for this tip!) The Village Voice just did a piece about Chasing Daybreak: A Film About Mixed Race in America. That’s the Mavin foundation film about their Generation Mix tour last year (featuring of course, our good friend Jamie Tibbetts from Like Minded People–the one who makes our awesome Addicted to Race t-shirts!):
Also noteworthy is how different the participant’s experiences of being mixed race are. You see Ashley, blond and fair, lamenting not looking mixed enough and being hurt to the point of tears about the flack she gets from people who deem her too white. And you see Charlie, a blend of Thai, Chinese, and Burmese, also challenged for not being mixed enough, in his case because his identities can easily fall under the rubric of “Asian American.”

There’s a link for buying the film via paypal… about $20.00, not a bad deal. If you’re a MAVIN member it’s a bit cheaper.
Oh, and Joe: you had audio issues? I could listen but couldn’t see - may have been an bandwidth issue for the VV.
