Watch this documentary from Frontline online and then join the discussion. A Class Divided is a 1985 PBS documentary featuring Iowa educator Jane Elliott reuniting with her class of third graders to discuss their participation in her 1970 exercise on discrimination and privilege. This documentary focuses on their reflections of having been divided into two distinct groups: the children with blue eyes and the children with brown.
