The Outsiders?

Episode 1

Are All Men Created Equal?

Chapter one opens with a big question, based on one of the central pillars of the United States Constitution. Something that all of us living democratic lives in the West are guided and abide by, that states, that 'All Men Are Created Equal' and that equality is a basic right belonging to all human beings. Frederick begins the series with one of the most incisive questions to ever open a documentary, by asking his cast 'If they believe that All Men, are in fact created equal?' What follows are poignant stories of traumatic moments when innocent childhood dreams and desires are shattered, as our cast reveal when they understood that for Black people, all men are NOT equal.
