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

[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.

4/5

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.

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.

Filmmaker and comedian W. Kamau Bell explores the vibrant, complex world of multiracial children and their families in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through candid and often humorous conversations, the documentary highlights a new generation that rejects binary labels in favor of embracing their full, "1000%" identities. It serves as both a celebration of diverse heritage and a roadmap for navigating race and belonging in modern America.
