Wide Eyed  is a compilation DVD of some of the most compelling moments from Jane Elliott's most well known films.  Clips include moments from Eye of the Storm, A Class Divided, Blue Eyed and Angry Eye.  Seeing and discussing these clips can help us to recognize some of the issues surrounding the "isms" with which we all live. Through this excellent program we may also understand more fully how we as human beings react when we are treated unfairly on the basis of physical characteristics over which we have no control.  The use of the material can help to increase our awareness of the effects of racism, sexism, ageism, able-ism, homophobia, ethnocentricity and bigotry.
 
 Short Clip

Included on the DVD ( 57 minutes) is a study guide which is accessed through opening the DVD from your computer.  The study guide contains ten examples of the stereotypical remarks that are made in Diversity Training classes.  It lists clips relative to the remarks from several of the films and provides discussion questions that help to refute some of the erroneous assumptions implied in the remarks.  This material is appropriate for diversity training on all levels for education or business environments.

10 Statements from Wide Eyed:

  1. Why are those designated as minorities so emotional
  2. People of color don't value education.  Look at their drop out rate and their classrooom behavior.
  3. Students of color consistenly score lower on tests than white students.
  4. People of color are less civilized, less mature and tend to be violent.
  5. Everyone has suffered some sort of discrimination.  Why is it so hard for blacks?
  6. I didn't own slaves.  I didn't shoot Martin Luter King, Jr. etc.
  7. Why are these people so angry all of the time?
  8. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
  9. Adults will only learn in an environment where they feel safe.
  10. Racism is just human nature. I was born that way. I can't change.
