Skin Deep chronicles the eye-opening journey of a diverse and divided group of college students as they awkwardly but honestly confront each other's racial prejudices. Academy Award nominated filmmaker Frances Reid follows students from the University of Massachusetts, Texas A&M, Chico State, and U.C. Berkeley to a challenging racial awareness workshop where they confront each other's innermost feelings about race and ethnicity. She also accompanies them back to their campuses and on visits home in an attempt to understand why they think the way they do. An Italian American from Boston asks why the African American students seem to look at everything in terms of race; he wants to be judged as an individual.

This program explores what schools, groups and individuals are doing to promote racial, religious and cultural understanding at a time when growing numbers of Arab-Americans and Muslims are being victimized. A Sikh teen that has been harassed and Muslim teens from various countries dispel stereotypes by providing information about their religions and the true teachings of Islam... They discuss how they have been affected and explain the differences between them and the extremists. We also hear from Palestinian and Israeli teens who are looking for solutions to the Middle East conflict.
