Office Politics is described as such: "When a White male co-worker makes an off-the-cuff racist remark to his boss’s Black female assistant, what seems like a harmless joke snowballs, catapulting the ad sales office of a women's magazine into turmoil. Threats are made, loyalties tested and the boss's 'Kumbaya' solution leaves everyone's relationships and beliefs about power, race and class in utter shreds."
