Blue Eyed

About This Movie

Blue Eyed is a short but intense documentary that offers a sharp look at societal dynamics through Jane Elliott's eye-opening exercise. In just 15 minutes, she crafts a microcosm of society by engaging around 30 participants in an experiment that reveals deep-seated biases and prejudices. The atmosphere is charged; you can feel the tension rise as participants confront their own beliefs and reactions. It’s fascinating how Elliott navigates the emotional landscape, making it both uncomfortable and enlightening. The pacing keeps you on edge as the game unfolds, and the raw, unscripted performances really bring the themes of discrimination and empathy to the forefront. It's one of those films that lingers in your mind, prompting thought long after it ends.
