Class Divided, A
- 1985 ----- color ----- 54 min ----- 16mm/vhs
- (Frontline series) In 1970, Jane Elliot, a public school teacher in Riceville, Iowa, divided her class into blue- and brown-eyed groups for a lesson in discrimination--"The Eye of the Storm." A Class Divided updates that unique lesson in a blend of footage from the original documentary and a reunion of the former third-graders and their teacher fifteen years later. The students, now young adults, relate the profound and enduring effects of their discrimination lesson on their lives and in their early experiences as parents. Jane Elliott is also seen giving this same jarring lesson to adult employees of the Iowa prison system with results that are strikingly similar to those experienced by the children.
