The Angry Eye is a 2001 American documentary film featuring schoolteacher Jane Elliott conducting her "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise in New York with a group of college students, separating them based on eye color as a lesson on discrimination.[2]

Reception

Robert Koehler of Variety wrote that the film "provides stiff medicine on the psychological assumptions girding racist attitudes and behavior", concluding: "Elliott's ideas hold, even if it's not hard to root for the few class rebels who revolt against her browbeating."[3]
