In 1968, an elementary school teacher in rural Iowa launched a bold classroom experiment that would change her life and the national conversation on race. In the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, Jane Elliott’s “Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes” lesson exposed her all-white third-grade class to the realities of discrimination, eliciting both acclaim and backlash. Over the next five decades, her uncompromising commitment to confronting racism carried her message to classrooms, universities, and media platforms worldwide, often at great cost. Now nearing 90, Elliott remains a fearless and outspoken advocate, addressing today’s urgent debates over history, power, and privilege. Provocative and relevant, this documentary captures a singular figure who refuses to soften her message in the face of resistance.
