Director Judd Ehrlich and Special Guests Attending

In the wake of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, Jane Elliott, a third-grade teacher in rural Iowa, leads her all-white class through a controversial lesson in discrimination that came to be known as the “Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes” experiment. With her students’ willing participation, she separated the kids into groups based on eye color, and declared one color to be better than the other in an effort to teach them about discrimination. Despite facing backlash from the conservative community in which she taught, and at great cost to her family, she became an outspoken opponent of discrimination and a national voice against racism. Judd Ehrlich’s stirring documentary introduces viewers to one of the most inspiring people you will ever meet, 92-year-old Jane Elliott, who will not be silenced.
