I love “Skin” – It is an important thought provoking, heart opening film Directed by Anthony Fabian with an outstanding cast including Sophie Okonedo, Sam Neill and Alice Krige. Skin is an extraordinary true story of Sandra Laing, a South African child who is distinctly African looking, born to White Afrikaners who are unaware of their Black ancestry. It is a must see for everyone around the world. It is about family, forgiveness and the triumph of the human spirit. When the issue of Skin touches a family it truly goes to the heart of the matter which is love. Skin brings the issue of race and skin to another dimension when it touches this family. What this film encourages and inspires is that we must go beyond the “Skin” and the physical. We must deal with people heart to heart beneath the surface of the “Skin.” When you do that you are transformed because the heart reflects love and love brings peace!!! With all of our so called outer differences beneath the surface the flesh looks the same. I am thankful to Director Anthony Fabian for listening to the story and bringing it to film with such sensitivity and style. It is truly about all of us going deeper and encouraging others to do the same. It is beautifully acted!!! It is beautifully directed and you will enjoy listening to the music that gently moves the film along. Skin should have a long life in theaters, at home and in schools around the world. There are not many classics being made these days. Skin is definitely a classic!!!Listen to my interviews with Skin Director Anthony Fabian and Composer Helene Muddiman.
