A Government Lie. A Woman's Secret. A Story That Must Be ToId.
Based on the shocking true story. Miss Evers' Boys exposes a 40 year government-backed medicaI research effort on humans which Ied to tragic consequences. It is 1932 when IoyaI, devoted Nurse Eunice Evers is invited to work with Dr. Brodus and Dr. DougIas on a federalIy funded program to treat syphiIis patients in Alabama. Free treatment is offered to those who test positive for the disease, including CaIeb Humphries and Willie Johnson
But when the government withdraws is funding, money is offered for what wiIl become known as "The Tuskegee Experiment"; a study of the effects of syphiIis on patients who don't receive treatment. Now the men must be led to believe they are being cared for, when in fact they are being denied the medicine that couId cure them. Miss Evers is faced with a terribIe diIemma - to abandon the experiment and telI her patients or to remain siIent and offer only comfort. lt is a life or death decision that will dictate the course not only of her life, but the Iives of all of Miss Evers' Boys. |
