Fridays@One: “Little White Lie” with Lacey Schwartz

Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, Arnhold Hall
General Public 

Lacey Schwartz presents her new documentary which explores her quest on racial identity and asks: What defines our identity, our family of origin or the family that raises us? It is a story of growing up in a Jewish household with loving parents despite the questions from those around her about how a white girl could have such dark skin. Lacey pieces together her family history and the story of her dual identity. Little White Lie is a personal documentary about the legacy of family secrets, denial, and redemption.

Moderated by Michelle Materre, Assistant Professor in Media Studies; School for Undergraduate Studies; The New School for Public Engagement.

Sponsored by the Institute for Retired Professionals
