What happens

Hidden Colors is a series of documentary films directed by Tariq Nasheed and released between 2011 and 2019, to explain the marginalizing of people of African descent in America and across the world. Critical reception has been mixed to negative, with reviews describing the films' content mainly as discredited conspiracy theories. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
