Jane Elliot Against the World

Judd Ehrlich / United States / 2026 / 99 min

After a controversial classroom exercise in 1968, Iowa teacher Jane Elliott became one of America’s most uncompromising voices against racism. Now, nearly 90, she continues to speak out with unwavering courage. In this compelling portrait, Elliott emerges as a force of nature—sharp-tongued, fearless, and relentless in challenging privilege and discrimination. At a time of renewed debates over race, history, and power, the film captures a woman whose voice remains as urgent and unyielding as ever.
