Blue Eyed, Brown Eyed
An award winning documentary which offers viewers a chance to watch a full-length workshop with America's most dynamic diversity trainer, Jane Elliott.

This documentary follows a group of 40 teachers, police, school administrators and social workers in Kansas City - blacks, Hispanics, whites, women and men as the participate in one of Jane Elliot’s workshops. Based on her work with school children in the 1960s, the blue-eyed members are subjected to pseudo-scientific explanations of their inferiority, culturally biased IQ tests and blatant discrimination. In just a few hours under Elliott's withering regime, we watch grown professionals become despondent and distracted, stumbling over the simplest commands.
