Race doc series has U.S. buzzing

Sun TV is behind the Canadian premiere of the controversial documentary series Black. White. The show takes an African-American family and a Caucasian family and makes them up to look like members of the opposite race. See the photo to the right, which depicts the Caucasian folks as they are, and then as they are made up to look like black folks. The families then go about their daily lives and find out what it's like to walk in the other race's shoes. They have their beliefs and core values challenged in the process. Actor/producer/writer Ice Cube is one of the folks behind the series, which has already created a lot of talk in the U.S. Black. White airs Sundays at 8 p.m., beginning April 9.
