About the Film
In the United States, race - more than any other demographic factor - determines levels of individual educational achievement, health and life expectancy, possibility of incarceration, and wealth.
This film reveals a self-perpetuating system of inequity in which internal factors play out in external structures: institutions, policy, and law. Designed for dialogue and learning, Cracking the Codes: The System of Racial Inequity works to disentangle internal beliefs within, as it builds skills to recognize and address the externals drivers of inequity.
