synopsis

“Blue-eyed people are liars. Blue-eyed people are dumber. Blue-eyed people don’t know how to adapt.” A reality show in which people are judged by their eye color. Thirty people take part in a Dutch experiment exploring the roots of racism. They will feel first-hand what it is like to be discriminated against and what it is like to succumb to the desire to discriminate.
