Airing Sunday, Feb. 14th, @ 9pm PST

Yunus was raised Muslim, in an area that declared "whiteness" the ultimate form of beauty. Witness the contrast of Yunus's journey into adulthood, filled with sexual revolution, Trotskyism, and a culture coming of age, where past and present meet through a prism of modern racism.
