Scattered to the winds by the 1967 Detroit Race Riots, a group of almost all white grade school classmates reunite at age 46 and discover how each of their lives had been profoundly impacted by their beloved African American teacher named "Mr. Bell."

When Civil Rights pioneer Bell is found (now close to 70 years old) the magic begins to happen in the film.

Contributed to by major artists across America, COLORBLIND is being proclaimed as one of the most inspirational films of 2005.

If you've ever wondered what happened to the "kids of the '60s" -- COLORBLIND let's you know. Preserving that era of younger generations, COLORBLIND teaches us that Dr. King's Civil Rights Movement is alive and well and living on in some of the most unexpected places.

The film chronicles the turmoil predominately white Lewiston, Maine faces when 1,100 former Somali refugees relocate there en-masse in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy - referred to as the "Somali invasion" by the international news media.

A firestorm of controversy erupts when Lewiston mayor Larry Raymond sends an open letter to the newly arrived Somali community asking them to tell friends and family not to move into the city. The conflict escalates into competing "hate" and "peace" rallies held simultaneously and separated by only a few miles.

The "hate" rally staged by Reverend Matt Hale's World Church of the Creator, a white separatist group, and a "peace" rally organized by the Many & One Coalition, a local community group, necessitates the largest police action in Maine's history to ensure the safety of the city's residents.
