During the months of Oct and Nov 2013, MusicUNTOLD is screening the documentary Brown Babies: The Mischlingskinder Story. Brown Babies reveals a chapter of history few know about. The film presents an era when children born to German women and African-American soldiers were unwanted, ignored and forgotten. Winner of the Best Documentary award at the 2011 American Black Film Festival. Brown Babies: The Mischlingskinder Story chronicles the lives of the biracial , bicultural children of African American GIs and German women. These children, placed in orphanages, were left to live without the support of their parents and their countries, Germany and the United States.
 
Renowned pianist Andre Watts was not a part of the film but he was born in Germany, the son of an African American soldier and a Hungarian mother in 1946. See http://www.cmartists.com/artists/andre-watts.htm
