Description

The sound of hair clippers is the first thing you’ll hear when you walk into a barbershop. Hearing that sound is comfortable for many, but hearing people talk about race may not be so comfortable. That’s why Schickner created an Independent film called ‘A White Man Walks into a Barbershop’ where he discussed race with people in the Black community. Filmmaker Kyle Schickner hits the road over 8 years, crisscrossing America with the hope of examining racism's hold on our country, only to discover the grip racism has on him. Visiting barbershops, churches, and homes from Alabama to Minneapolis, from D.C to L.A, this honest, humorous, searing documentary on America, Americans and race relations.
