San Francisco Chronicle

If such intelligence and insight is characteristic of the rising generation, “1000% Me” should give us hope for the future.

Culture Mix

[It] has wonderfully thoughtful groups of multiracial families candidly sharing their stories. The biggest drawback to this one-hour documentary is that there could have been more variety in the socioeconomic statuses and residencies of the interviewees.

Sabrina McFarland

Common Sense Media

Filmmaker W. Kamau Bell (United Shades of America) provides a critical, at times comic, but oh-so-worthy perspective on the ever-timely topic of race.

Rated: 4/5

WBAI Radio

The results are candid, mostly upbeat, but occasionally blistering as to their confused place in a racially confounding society. And though the space for a more expansive probe is limited by one hour, a multitude of thoughts and feelings are expressed.

A very relevant and honest look at a subject that easily gets dismissed or under valued. Taking the perspective of children who have lived this but also adults as well as parents creates a touching and memorable documentary that presents questions and answers but leaves the viewer free to draw their own conclusions.
