"Black or White" is a poignant drama directed by Mike Binder that delves into the complexities of race, family, and identity. The story follows Elliot Anderson (Kevin Costner), a widowed grandfather who finds himself embroiled in a custody battle over his biracial granddaughter, Eloise.

With standout performances from the talented ensemble cast, including Octavia Spencer as Rowena, Eloise's grandmother, and Anthony Mackie as Jeremiah, a lawyer who becomes involved in the case, "Black or White" is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant exploration of race relations in contemporary America. Touching, powerful, and ultimately hopeful, this film challenges viewers to question their own beliefs and prejudices while celebrating the universal values of connection and understanding.
