This was so informative on the aspects of passing as white in a time period more prejudiced than our current one. The fears that arose with potentially being discovered and the lengths which were taken in order to prevent that happening is/was so heartbreaking, and I think this should be required reading for it's historical aspect (or at least the film should be required viewing).
