That's how anti-racism expert Jane Elliott describes her role in this reality-based documentary that challenges Canadian attitudes towards Native Canadians. 'Even nice Canadians are racist...' Whether or not you agree, that’s Elliott’s starting point as she welcomes and bullies 22 Canadians who have volunteered to participate in her internationally renowned workshop. With cameras rolling, she divides the unsuspecting participants by eye color-blue eyes 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.
The goal, Elliott says, is to find even one person who is willing to stand up and change things, to become an activist, to do something about the problem. Brown-eyed Clayton Maxxi puts it best: 'We wish this never existed, that it was just a movie, but it’s real!'

Imagine that you had been forcibly removed from your parents and raised never knowing your true heritage – all because of the color of your skin.Imagine that the white government wanted to make your entire race extinct – just because you werent born white. If you lived in Australia this was your fate and you became part of the 'Stolen Generation.' How would it be if for one day the tables were turned and the whites could be made to feel what it was like to be part of this 'Stolen Generation?' Jane Elliott brings a group of Aborigines and white Australians together for her landmark 'blue-eyed/brown-eyed' diversity training exercise. American diversity trainers may find the film helpful because it removes the experience of oppression from the familiar American racial terrain to a more universal, yet less well-trod landscape.

If you think 'it couldn’t happen here' or 'it wouldn’t happen now,' this may prove to be a bit of an 'Eye Opener!' Jane Elliott, the internationally acclaimed diversity champion, conducts her 'blue eyed/brown eyed' exercise in Glasgow with thirty-five volunteers from across the United Kingdom. Many of the blue eyed participants were shocked at their own reactions to what for many of them was the new experience of being powerless. Many of the brown eyed participants were shocked at how easy they found it to go along with what was happening, even though they knew it was wrong. They all now have a better understanding of the systematic nature of racism, as well as the awareness of their own actions – or inactions – can reinforce and perpetuate it. "Eye Opener" shows this exercise is as relevant and necessary in the UK today as it was in Riceville, Iowa more than forty years ago.
