Faced with having their federal funding cut off entirely, the staff of a syphilis treatment center in Tuskegee, Alabama is forced to institute a government-mandated research project in which they study--without the patients' knowledge--the effects of the disease on untreated black patients. Based on the true story of the decades-long Tuskegee experiment. I must say that this was one of the best TV movies I've ever seen. Not only were there quality actors (Alfre Woodard, Laurence Fishburn, Joe Morton), but the people involved succeeded in making this an honest drama. One of the most well written movies ever and I encourage people to see it.
I saw this movie a long time ago and liked it very much. I didn't know the name of it until recently. When I found it on ebay I couldn't believe it, and I really got a good deal on it. Where I used to go on ebay just once or twice a week, I now find myself surfing just about every day. If I had known about ebay a few years ago, It would have saved me a lot o money.
Only issue I have is getting the younger generation to sit still and watch it.

I currently live in Macon County, Alabama. What else can I say? My grandfather was one of the recipient or should I say victims.
