Future Shock - Skin Color (1972)
Monday, May 21, 2007 at 1:36PM Below is a short clip from the 1972 paleo-futuristic documentary Future Shock. This segment focuses on the prospect of changing your skin color.
Will the human race emerge in a range of brilliant colors? Given the choice, would we want to look alike or different? What is beautiful?
You can find Future Shock on the DVD Yesterday's Tomorrows Today, released by A/V Geeks.

I want fuschia. Or teal. And hubby looks best in dark blue....
But I would settle for a decent depilatory....
It's Les Nessman! He's so clever and fashion forward.
