Synopsis

Mahree Bok lives on a farm in South Africa. Her father is a policeman who cannot hide his joy when activist Steve Biko is caught by the South African authorities. Piper Dellums is the daughter of a US congressman from California and who lives in a nice home in Washington DC. When Mahree is chosen to spend a semester at the Dellums' house, she doesn't expect that her host family would be black. Nor do her hosts suspect that she is not a black South African.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
klpcast This is an excellent movie. It is probably in my top 3 DCOMs I've watched. I watched it one day because there was nothing else on. After about 5 minutes, I was hooked and couldn't stop watching. The characters acted like real characters, and I can easily tell what's happening during the time it takes place, since I've spent a lot of time learning about it in school. The acting is also excellent. I love to watch Piper an Mahree become closer in their friendship. I wasn't able to see the ending, but I can tell that the ending will be good like the rest of the movie. The older Disney Channel Movies like this one are really good.
softball_chick8930 This is a very encouraging movie.I loved it!It was showing discrimination to black people.And this white girl from South Africa comes to the U.S. cause she was an exchange student.She stays with a family that is black.Well she is confused cause at her home blacks are servants and maids but here they aren't in the U.S.There is also a black girl who would keep asking her Mom and Dad if they could have an exchange student stay there 4 a while.They finally said yes and when the girls meet each other they are both shocked and are thinking what has happened?!They start to talk and they become great friends.At the end they learn that it doesn't matter what color your skin color is but how they act.
JackBauerPowerHour The first time I say The Color of Friendship,I didn't know what I was getting at first but then I really liked this movie a lot.This movie was very good in a lot of ways.Now I know why this movie won a Emmy and a couple of awards.Good acting,Good Writting and Good Cast.A Touching movie.10/10.
emalily2001 If you haven't seen this movie, I think you should see it. I love this movie and also cried at the end when I read the truth about the movie. You need to see it so you can find out what happened then and is still happening today which is wrong. I have a world history teacher who told me that he is not African American. He said that he is, "AMERICAN," just like me and that the only thing different from him and me is that he has darker skin then me. We both do the same things(well almost I mean he is older then me), we both have friends no matter who they are.
