One of the best ways to watch is at a “watch party.” While all of our own scheduled watch parties have run their course, we’re encouraging other organizations to use these “Masks Off” clips to facilitate discussions around racism and healing.

Select excerpts / video clips from each watch party have been posted to this web page. (These excerpts are very useful for a focused, theme-based dialogue.) The full, unabridged “Masks Off” conversations (Parts 1 & 2) are also viewable on this web page. (While these are roughly 1.5 hours each, they are beautiful pieces in that they represent a complete, unedited dialogue.)

Our intention with the "Masks Off" video series is to provide an example of what an honest dialogue around racism might look like in the United States. It is our goal to model civil conversation about hard-to-discuss issues.

With this purpose in mind, these videos are being made available to the general public for use in such conversations.

If you plan on using these videos, please follow these guidelines for use:
