Director Statement

I decided to make the film A Day of Racism because I believe racism exists, and many individuals are afraid to discuss it. We, as humans, should have this discussion with a calm demeanor to eliminate it. When individuals see films that tackle the racism issue, I feel those individuals understand better their morals and values about it. A Day of Racism is a film that can do such.
