Through These Eyes is a 2004 National Film Board of Canada documentary directed by Charles Laird about the pioneering and politically controversial 1970s American elementary school program  A Course of Study (MACOS).

The film explores the roots of MACOS in a National Science Foundation decision during the Cold War to fund the programs designed to help the United States counter the technological and military challenge posed by the Soviet Union by producing more scientists and engineers. MACOS was one such science curriculum, designed to provide fifth-grade students with materials designed to explore what it means to be a human being, combining biology, primatology and anthropology.
