Film Overview
A rural Iowa schoolteacher becomes a national voice against racism after leading a controversial 1968 lesson in discrimination with her all-white third-grade class. Now nearly 90, she refuses to hold back amid today’s fights about race, history, and power after a lifetime of speaking out.
Programmer's Comment:
“Jane gives a whole new meaning to ‘You Have to Be Carefully Taught’. Powerful. She was way ahead of her time, and still she goes on”. – Samira
