Blue Eyed
- Synopsis
- A third film about the work of Jane Elliott, showing how in only a few minutes she can build up a realistic microcosm of society, where even participants who know the 'rules' are unable to remain uninvolved. What starts as a game turns into cruel reality with unforeseen intensity. The purpose of the film is to make people aware of unconscious racism and prejudice in their behaviour, and shows how Jane Elliott has dedicated her life to this work, a forceful appeal against discrimination. NB THE ESSENTIAL BLUE-EYED is a special trainer's version of the original film,shortened to 60 minutes, retaining the most telling parts. This DVD also contains a completely new 36-minute debriefing where Jane Elliott shows how to help participants apply the lessons of her exercise to their daily work lives. She encourages the mixed group to compare their personal experiences of discrimination to appreciate that white people and people of colour, and other minority groups, inhabit two separate worlds.
