Race Track

Race Track: The Blind Spot of Privilege uses an engaging parable within a sports arena to examine the dynamics of institutional racism and the logical and moral basis of affirmative action.

When a talented high school athlete discovers that his inability to compete in certain track & field events traces to a glaring flaw in the system, he devises a mechanism to address the problem - only to come up against a sports world firmly entrenched in tradition and fiercely resistant to change. As he persists in his struggle, he discovers the fulfillment of standing up for equality - and, years later, discovers a new application for that urge within him.
