“The happiest place in America is Boulder, Colorado” — said no Black person ever. This is [Not] Who We Are <\/i><\/b>is a documentary film exploring the gap between Boulder, Colorado\u2019s progressive self-image and the lived experiences of its small but resilient Black community.

He lived to tell the story many Black men don’t survive to tell. While it has a unique history, Boulder is emblematic of liberal, white, university-based communities that profess an inclusive ethic but live a segregated reality.
