Synopsis

In the autumn of 1968, Jane Elliott, a teacher in a small, predominantly white town in Iowa, orchestrated an extraordinary lesson. She divided her third-grade class into groups defined not by ability, but by the color of their eyes – blue-eyed and brown-eyed. It was a bold experiment, a daring exploration of prejudice. This is the story of that day, the profound effect it had on those children, and the enduring resonance of its message three decades later.
