Boomers at the Cinema: Jane Elliott Against the World

  • Philadelphia Film Society East 125 S. 2nd Street Philadelphia, PA, 19106 United States (map)

As part of its SpringFest, the Philadelphia Film Society is screening the documentary, Jane Elliott Against the World

Premiering at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival to excellent reviews, the film profiles a rural schoolteacher who becomes a national voice against racism after leading a 1968 lesson in discrimination with her all-white third day class. Now nearly ninety, she refuses to hold back amid today's fights about race, history, and power after a lifetime of speaking out.
