Synopsis "Passing Judgment"

Step by step. Angela Rogers measures her words, even her body language carefully. She cannot afford a slip of the tongue, a single mistake, or betrayal of feelings. If she does, the careful world she has so delicately constructed will come crashing down around her. It is 1964 in Roosevelt, Long Island, and the Rogers family has moved into a new home from their Brooklyn neighborhood. And Angela Rogers can breathe a sigh of relief. Being a light-skinned black girl in a black neighborhood, Angela suffered abuse from her classmates, taunts from the neighbors and betrayal from her friends. Now arriving in the pristine, practically all-white neighborhood of Roosevelt; Angela is determined not to suffer the indignities of her past. She decides to pass as white, thereby insulating her from any racial backlash from her new white neighbors. Julian Foster, a handsome black school athlete, is in a forbidden relationship with a girl from the neighborhood, but they are heading for a breakup due to the pressure from each other's families. One fateful night, both Angela's and Julian's worlds collide with shattering violence, finding themselves in each other's arms. Can this unexpected encounter end in justice for Julian and restore Angela's pride in her race, and herself?
