Helping Youth Transcend Racial Negativity
TROUBLE in the WATER
- Inspired by the Langston Hughes poem, My People -
Cool Breeze Communications is pleased to announce that “TROUBLE in the WATER” is now available for purchase.
Based on an award-winning screenplay, “TROUBLE in the WATER” is a short, family-oriented film that brings an important and positive message to the African-American community. By exploring how negative racial messages are gradually internalized and passed from generation to generation, the film illuminates the profound impact of these messages on a child’s self-image.
A child’s primary identity comes from the parent. It’s only at ages 3, 4 and 5 that kids even begin to think about color… Too often, [we] unknowingly translate negative messages to [our] children.
Dr. Alvin Poussaint - author, psychiatrist and educator
This thought-provoking, inspirational DVD also serves as a youth outreach media tool that supports educators, early childhood development professionals, and counselors in their work to help youth counter the culture of bigotry, harassment and hate violence.
A MUST HAVE for anyone who wants to help youth transcend racial negativity!
Educational & Institutional Copies NOW AVAILABLE!

Thank you for bringing this program to our church. The DVD format made it easier to facilitate our discussions on this critical issue. Without a doubt, we must take notice of how what we say shapes lives in ways we can’t imagine.
