A film portrait of Jane Elliott, an American teacher and anti-racist educator, from her classroom experiment in 1968 to decades of engagement in debates on inequality.
A film portrait of Jane Elliott, an American teacher and anti-racist educator who has become a national voice in the fight against prejudice. The documentary traces her personal and professional path – from the groundbreaking 1968 classroom experiment in Iowa, where she divided students into “better” and “worse” groups based on eye color, to decades of engagement in debates on inequality, identity, and power. At 90, Elliott remains an example of an uncompromising and honest voice in times of intense social tension, showing how to confront history responsibly to avoid repeating its mistakes. The film emphasizes that education about prejudice is not only about the past but a vital necessity for the present and the future.
