Angela E. Roe, a mixed-race anthropologist, travels across Curaçao to expose one's the island of biggest taboos: "race" and "skin color" what do they mean today.

Curaçao, a small Caribbean island off the Venezuelan coast, was once an important Dutch colony. It has a population of approximately 140.000 people that is racially and especially ethnically diverse, yet predominantly of African descent and a small white elite.

In five neighborhoods on the Island of Curaçao - a former Dutch colony - each neighborhood distinct in its racial and class make-up, a total of thirty Curaçaoans of all ages and all walks of life share what "race" and "skin color" mean to them today.

Wat betekenen huidskleur en ras vandaag de dag? Antropologe Angela Roe gaat op zoek naar een antwoord. Tijdens haar road trip door de wijken Barber, Seru Fortuna, Otrobanda, Janwe en Spaanse Water vertellen dertig Curaçaoënaars hun verhaal.

Het doel van de documentaire Sombra di Koló is het doorbreken van het taboe op de onderwerpen "kleur" en "ras," en het op gang brengen van een constructieve nationale dialoog over een onderwerp dat ons allen beïnvloedt. Want iedereen heeft een kleur, en iedereen heeft een verhaal. Dus kom kijken, luisteren, en praat mee. Mario Kleinmoedig leidt het debat dat na afloop van de voorstelling zal plaatsvinden.
