Jane Elliott Against the World

Description

A rural Iowa schoolteacher became a national voice against racism after leading a controversial 1968 lesson in discrimination with her all-white third-grade class. Now nearly 90, Jane Elliott refuses to hold back amid today’s fights about race, history, and power after a lifetime of speaking out. A journey through Elliott's remarkable life, this film also addresses the impact of one's activism and determination to speak truth to large-scale powers on their family and home.
