Jane Elliott Against the World

Overview

For more than 55 years, Jane Elliott has challenged white America to confront racism head-on. After Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, her “Blue Eyes Brown Eyes” classroom exercise revealed how quickly prejudice takes hold, which launched her into a lifetime of activism. Now nearing 90, Elliott remains unflinching as backlash grows and censorship spreads. Through archival footage, former students and contemporary voices, the film traces her enduring impact and asks a pressing question: As history repeats itself, who will carry the fight forward?
