![]() Following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Jane Elliott, a third grade teacher in an all-white, all-Christian small town, wanted to teach her class what it feels like to be discriminated against based on a physical characteristic over which one has no control. She divided her students into two groups: those with brown eyes, and those with blue eyes. DAY ONE: She tells the class the “truth” about brown eyed people: that they’re lazy, stupid, dirty … all of the stereotypes Americans hold about people of color. In a matter of minutes, blue eyed students begin to get the gleam of power in their eyes. Brown eyed students sink in their chairs, and their test scores decline. DAY TWO: Elliott introduces a twist. She tells the class that she made a mistake; blue eyed people are the inferior ones. The cycle begins again. Once both groups of students have been on the receiving end of discrimination, Elliott brings them together to talk about how they felt and help them draw connections between their feelings that day and racism in the outside world. This award-winning documentary is enhanced by a comprehensive Facilitator’s Guide applicable to all ages. Running time: 25 minutes
![]() "I'm your resident bitch for the day - welcome to the workshop!" - Anti-racism expert Jane Elliott. That's how anti-racism expert Jane Elliott describes her role in this reality-based documentary that challenges Canadian attitudes towards Native Canadians. "Even nice Canadians are racist..." With cameras rolling, she divides the 22 unsuspecting participants by eye color - blue eyes in one group, brown eyes (many of them Native Canadian) in the other. Elliott turns the tables on the participants, treating the blue eyes as "persons of color", confronting and browbeating them, while the brown eyes are treated with respect. Filmed in Regina, Sask., Indecently Exposed illustrates and exposes how systematic racism continues to thrive in Canada today. Powerful insights into the personal lives of the participants combined with the intensity of the workshop experience, create an engrossing emotional and psychological drama as the blue eyes learn what it feels like to be a target of discrimination. The experience causes many of the participants to re-evaluate their behavior and think about change. The goal, Elliott says, is to find even one person who is willing to stand up and change things, to become an activist, to do something about the problem. As brown-eyed Clayton Maxxi puts it best: "We wish this never existed, that it was just a movie, but it's real!" Running time: 59 minutes
