About the Project

“The most believable myth about racism is that it’s a conscious inclination in “mean” people." Mike says. “How do you prove it then?” asks Dave.

Mike and Dave; two childhood friends, are not allowed to play together because Mike is black and Dave is white. Twenty years later they meet once again in their grandfather’s backyards in Jennings, MO. (five miles from Ferguson, MO.) and talk about girls, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the literal fence of prejudice that divided their worlds when they were younger.

Inspired by true events.
