Description
Inspired by actual events comes this Emmy Award-winning movie about two girls from different worlds who learn the ultimate lesson about tolerance and friendship. When African-American Congressman Ron Dellums and his daughter Piper (Shadia Simmons, ZENON: THE ZEQUEL), greet their South African exchange student Mahree (Lindsey Haun, BRING IT ON), they're surprised to discover she's white. But no one's more surprised than Mahree herself, a product of the Apartheid system, who's been raised to view dark-skinned people as second-class citizens. Only if Piper and Mahree can learn to see past their differences will they discover the friendship of a lifetime.

Perfect Example of what we are trying to get away from February 22, 2010

I Have never heard of this movie before tonight when i watched it on the disney channel. I started Crying during this movie. It really made me think about how black people should be treated. If i was treated like that i would not know what to do. I think this movie was the best movie i have ever watched.
DVD version PLEASE! February 4, 2010

fabulous movie - and though maybe some info is missing, it's a wonderful movie for kids to watch (and adults) to get an understanding. It's a fabulous movie and worthy of a re-release in DVD & Blue Ray. The movie is 5 star... the VHS version knocked it down a star but5 didn't really want to punish the movie for that!
Also Waiting for This on DVD - Definite Collector's Item June 28, 2008

Too many films about race relations and prejudice are either geared toward adults only or are so much about the past that they are too graphic and cannot be shown to children. This is not the case with The Color of Friendship. I am 43 years old and grew up in the south. I watch this movie over and over. The movie starts with both girls having preconceived ideas of what race the other should be based on the society and country that they live in. Early on they learn that they are wrong. This - along with so many other things - are lessons that adults too can learn from. This movie could easily be included as part of Black History Month - and it is actually shown on TV over and over during Black History Month - but could be included in media presentations at the local level if it were available on DVD.
a must see February 6, 2008

this movie is great , the first time i saw it my teacher showed in douring black history month...if you have a child between 4 and 14 and you are trying to teach them about racism this is a very good movie to show... i was very touched by this movie.... its really great
Amazing! March 17, 2007
Wow! I love this movie more each time I watch it. The premise is strong, a real issue unlike much of the Disney Channel 'fluff' on today, and it's carried out superbly. Tears always spring to my eyes near the end.
