About this video

Black or White (2014) is a compelling family drama directed by Mike Binder, starring Kevin Costner, Octavia Spencer, Jillian Estell, Anthony Mackie, and André Holland. The film follows Elliott Anderson (Kevin Costner), a grieving widower who has been raising his biracial granddaughter Eloise (Jillian Estell) after the death of his wife.


When Eloise's paternal grandmother, Rowena Jeffers (Octavia Spencer), seeks custody, the family becomes involved in a difficult legal and emotional custody battle. As both sides fight for what they believe is best for Eloise, long-standing tensions force them to confront complicated questions surrounding family, race, forgiveness, understanding, and responsibility.

Featuring strong performances from Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer, Black or White explores the challenges of raising a child across divided family backgrounds while examining how personal beliefs and painful experiences can shape relationships. Written and directed by Mike Binder, this thought-provoking 2014 drama combines family conflict and courtroom tension with an emotional story about love, loss, and finding common ground.
