Wigger

2010 Rated R · ⭐ 0 · Votes: 0
“What do you do when you love something with all your 'art' and soul?”
"Wigger" is a spellbinding urban drama which chronicles the life of a young White male (Brandon) who totally emulates and immerses himself in African American life and culture. Brandon is an aspiring R&B singer struggling to overcome the confines of a White racist impoverished family headed by a neo-Nazi father who is absolutely appalled by his son's total identification with Black culture. Additionally he is oft times reminded of his position of privilege by virtue of being White in a White racist society despite his adamant efforts to transcend "Whiteness" institutionalized racism and find a place for himself in a world in which he rejects Whiteness but is not always fully embraced by African American culture. Ultimately this is the story of a young White inner-city male caught up in an emotional psychological experiential and racial "Catch 22" determined to be granted acceptance in the life and culture with which he chooses to identify.
