Indecently Exposed!

2004 · 60 min

A confrontational, fly-on-the-wall workshop that makes you squirm as participants are pushed to confront their own biases.

Starring: Jane Elliott

Tagline: Jane Elliott. I'm your resident bitch for the day - welcome to your workshop.
Overview: “Even nice Canadians are racist…” That's Jane Elliott’s starting point as she welcomes and bullies 22 Canadians who volunteered to participate in her renowned workshop. With camera rolling, Elliott divides the unsuspecting participants by eye color – blue eye in one group, brown eyes (many of them Native Canadian) in the other. Elliott turns the tables on the participants, treating the blue eyes as “persons of color,” confronting and browbeating them, while the brown eyes are treated with respect. It illustrates and exposes how systemic racism develops.
