Deconstructing Karen

[Available Nov. 24 on various VOD platforms.] Patty Ivins Specht's eye-opening, educational, fascinating, thought-provoking, 71-minute documentary in which Race2Dinner founders African-American Regina Jackson and Indian-American Saira Sameera Rao share their life-long experiences with racism and oppression with entitled white women (aka karens) at a dinner party with the intent of having an honest, open discussion about racism and to educate white women on the extreme and devastating effects of white entitlement on non-whites and how they can combat it, but that requires a difficult and painful recognition of their own racial complicity, as the film and a surprising epilogue demonstrates.
