Skin Deep

[Valiant]

Skin Deep tells the story of Romo a 15-year-old mixed race boy, who struggles to deal with who he is. Haunted by memories of racial abuse and violence suffered throughout his childhood, Romo has taken to concealing his mixed race identity and begins to hang around with a gang of overtly racist white youths. The film examines the situations that combine to push Romo's internal conflict to the limit. He faces himself in the mirror - two cultures, two identities. Irreconcilable.

This really made me speechless and I still can't really think of words to describe it. All I can think about is just how much these people's words were affecting him and how they just don't care or even stop to think, and how it's exactly the same with so many other people.

The person who played the part of Romo is a really good actor. It must be awful to struggle with your identity like that...

It's sad that there are people out there like Romo's 'friends' who are so racist and who make other people's lives unbearable.

Love, peace & friendship,

He's not an actor, he was chosen from one of the local schools, and he's blonde and blue eyed
