Shortly after Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed, a teacher in Iowa decided to run an experiment to help her students learn more about how discrimination negatively affects everyone. She chose to treat some of her students far better than others, based solely on physical traits. This short film looks at what this experiment taught the children and how they continue to be affected by it years later.
