Does anyone know anything about this documentary? My girlfriend recently saw extracts of it at work (she works in Human Resources) and it sounded quite interesting. Does anyone know if it is available anywhere? Knowing only what she has explained, and is contained within the link, could anyone expand if they have seen it, such as what the film is like as a whole?

Thank you for posting the link Domino. I remember seeing this in high school back around '79 or '80. I had forgotten the name of the film. By the discussions in my class afterwards, it was clear that some of my classmates did not get it. Some focused on the point of the film, others thought the teacher in the film was advocating racism, one girl came back the next day to say her mother was upset because her daughter who had blue eyes was not inferior.
