One of the most requested programs in FRONTLINE's history, this film recounts a small town teacher's attempt to teach her students about racism and discrimination. Jane Elliott decided on a bold experiment: she awarded special privileges to her blue-eyed students while discriminating against those whose eyes were brown. FRONTLINE tracks down Mrs. Elliott's former third-graders to learn what effect those early lessons on racism had on thier lives.
