The Rachel Divide
Who does she think she is?
Directed by Laura Brownson
A probing documentary portrait of a woman at the center of a racial identity scandal, grappling with questions of authenticity, belonging, and self-deception.
Rachel Dolezal became infamous when she was unmasked as a white woman passing for black so thoroughly that she had become the head of her local N.A.A.C.P. chapter. This portrait cuts through the very public controversy to reveal Dolezal’s motivations.
