Separate and Unequal is a specialized documentary that prioritizes racial and systemic justice over broad demographic representation. It succeeds by deconstructing racial hierarchies and moving the conversation from individual prejudice to institutional critique. However, the scope is narrow. The documentary lacks engagement with LGBTQ+ or disability narratives, focusing its lens almost entirely on the intersection of race and the American educational system.
