Passing (Parent And Baby Screening)

Childhood friends Irene Redfield and Clare Bellew are reunited in middle-class adulthood. While Irene has married a respected black doctor called Brian in 1920s New York, raised two sons and openly supports the efforts of the local Negro Welfare League, Clare has chosen to maintain her social standing in Chicago by "passing" as white to her circle of friends and her wealthy, racist husband John. The women's reunion in Harlem compels Clare to consider her choices.
