Mauton Akran is a senior at Oakland Technical High School. He moved to Oakland, California from Nigeria when he was six and he hasn’t been back there since. He’s been teased by black Americans for the darkness of his skin, he’s shared their experiences of racism, and he’s developed a passion for hip-hop.
This 27-minute documentary explores the tensions between African immigrants and black Americans through Mauton’s eyes.
