Michael Jacksons short film for Black or White was the first of nine short films produced for recordings from Dangerous, Michaels fourth album as an adult solo performer. As a single, Black or White was aninternational sensation, topping the charts in 20 countries in 1991 and 1992, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

Black or White was certified Gold and Platinum by the RecordingIndustry Association of America on January 6, 1992. The song was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance - Male in 1993. Both Black or White and its follow-up Remember the Time received BMI Urban Awards in 1993 for being two of the most performed songs of the year.

The ambitious Black or White short film again found Michael pushing the boundaries of the music video as art form. (This edited version of the short film was created for mainstream airtime after controversy arose over the final panther sequence.)
