Bias
Harkins Sedona 6 - Theatre 6 Wed, Feb 27, 2019 1:20 PM
The toxic effects of bias make headlines every day: sexual harassment, racial profiling, the pay gap. As humans, we are biased. Yet few of us are willing to admit it. We confidently make snap judgments, but we are shockingly unaware of the impact our assumptions have on those around us. The documentary feature "Bias" follows filmmaker Robin Hauser on a journey to uncover her hidden biases and explore how unconscious bias defines relationships, workplaces, our justice system, and technology. "Bias" contemplates the most pressing question: Can we de-bias our brains?
