Blue-Eyed

Thematic Tolerance Curated by Laurence Kardish

For 30 years, Jane Elliot has committed herself to fighting against racism, prejudice and ignorance through an exercise separating blue-eyed persons from brown-eyed persons. This film witnesses one such experiment with a group of business people who find themselves experiencing discrimination and condemnation due to their eye color. Director Bertram Verhaag captures the emotional power of the experiment and forces the spectators to challenge themselves like the participants.
