The World Is Not Black
Documentary series following life at a high school in South Carolina, USA. The school's sports stars are trying to secure athletic scholarships.
The school's sports stars are busy trying to secure athletic scholarships to college, but football player Kordel's dreams of leaving Orangeburg - and experiencing a more ethnically diverse America - seem beyond his grasp.
We meet Mykenzie, one of the few white students at the school. Her mum recently sent her to the school to try to combat ethnic segregation in the town, but when Mykenzie invites a number of new friends to her 16th-birthday party, things don't quite go to plan.
Meanwhile, star pupil Jalena tries to recover from some disappointing news, and basketball captain Rendull seeks some fatherly advice on his future.
