MISS EVERS' BOYS (FILM)

USA

1997

The true story of the U.S. Government's 1932 Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, in which a group of black test subjects were allowed to die, despite a cure having been developed.

Fascinating film about a difficult but true subject is handled beautifully.  Compelling performances and excellent period detail.
