Hidden Colors is a 2011 documentary film that explores the untold history of people of color, specifically those of Aboriginal, Moor, and African descent. The film challenges the traditional narrative of world history, which often portrays people of color as primitive and uncivilized only to be modernized by European colonizers.
The film features interviews with scholars, historians, and cultural experts who provide insights and information about the contributions of people of color throughout history. Through interviews and archival footage, Hidden Colors explores topics such as the African presence in pre-Columbian America, the role of Moors in the Golden Age of Europe, and the impact of African civilizations on European culture.
The film also examines the effects of slavery and colonialism on people of color, as well as the resilience and perseverance of these communities in the face of adversity. Hidden Colors aims to give viewers a more comprehensive understanding of the world's history and the role that people of color have played in shaping it.
Hidden Colors was directed by Tariq Nasheed and received positive reviews for its thorough research, engaging commentary, and thought-provoking insights. The film has since spawned a series of sequels, with Hidden Colors 5 released in 2019.
