Anthony Lennon was bom in Kilburn, west London. His parents both come from Ireland and are both indisputably white. Yet Anthony now earns his living as a black actor, because ever since he was a child he has looked black. When his friends, who are mostly black, find out about his background, fierce debates invariably follow; about whether Anthony really can call himself black, and about what black skin means to those who are born black.
Chilling Out reproduces just such a set of conversations - funny, challenging, sometimes angry conversations, rarely heard by white people in Britain.
