White

2017 · 15 min

A sharp, funny afterlife chat that turns awkward racial privilege into squirming, thought-provoking comedy.

Overview: White Man arrives to the Transition Centre Plus after dying of food poisoning in a cruise. There he is informed that he cannot be white in his next life. This triggers a ridiculous but insightful conversation about what it is to be white and its undeserved privileges.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and light. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Race, identity, class, power
Content: Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
