At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined. Dr. Anna Everett, Professor of Film and Media Studies at UCSB will lead a post-film discussion. 1h 44 min.
