Plot

"Black or White" is a riveting tale of love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of what's right. The story orbits around Elliot Anderson (Kevin Costner), a grandfather thrust into guardianship of his cherished granddaughter Eloise, after a tragic car accident claims the life of his wife. As he grapples with his grief, Elliot's world is further shaken by the entrance of Eloise's paternal grandmother Rowena (Octavia Spencer). Rowena, a formidable figure from a world seemingly different from Elliot's, demands that Eloise be placed under the care of her father, Reggie (Andre Holland), a man tangled in the throes of addiction. Elliot holds Reggie responsible for the negligence that resulted in his daughter's death and is determined to prevent Eloise from falling into the same hazardous environment. The ensuing custody battle is a tumultuous blend of family love and legal strife, with Eloise caught in the crossfire. Rowena enlists the help of her brother (Anthony Mackie), intensifying the struggle and forcing both families to address their deep-seated beliefs about race, forgiveness, and understanding. "Black or White" is a compelling exploration of two distinct worlds colliding, where the lines of right and wrong blur, and nothing is as straightforward as it seems. This emotionally charged drama, fortified by an exceptional cast and inspired by true events, is a testament to the fact that the world, like love, is never merely black or white.
