Interesting Movie
by S. Ewing (USA)
A very interesting movie. It is thought provoking and is well made. Not my usual type of movie, but I enjoyed watching it a few times.
5/5
Shocking
by E. Sexton (USA)
I had to buy this movie to watch it for school. I was shocked by the real-life story that this movie depicts. It's a great movie to watch, especially for those in healthcare to see how research trials with human subjects were conducted.
4/5
informative
by Rebecca Archer (Northridge, CA USA)
it's a great movie that allows you to see how the tuskegee study actually came about and how it took many years later for something to be done. its sad but informative. i loved it.

Miss Evers Boys
by Evane (California, USA)
I enjoyed it tremendously. (You'll have to watch out that it doesn't depress you). However, I found it to be noteworthy as it was historical and shed a bit of light on a situation that maybe some did not know ever existed. I would have liked it if the story would have dealt more with the government's ivolvement with the Tuskegee Project in preventing medicine to be given to the black men that were unknowingly used for this experiment. This story focused more on Miss Ever's commitment to the men, instead of the government's decision that these human beings were expendable. Excellent acting by Alfred Woodard & Laurence Fisburne.
Miss Evers' Boys Summary
This Shocking True Story Exposes A 40 Year Government Medical Research Effort On Humans Which Led To Tragic Consequences. A Federally Funded Program To Treat Syphilis Patients Has Its Funds Withdrawn. Now Money Is Offered On What Will Become Known As The Tuskegee Experiment On Unknowing Black Patients.
Laurence Fishburne helped shepherd this Emmy Award-winning exposé from American medical history books to the small screen. Anchored in the 1973 Senate inquiry into the infamous Tuskegee Study, the film uses a flashback structure to take us back 40 years as Nurse Eunice Evers (played with honest conviction by Alfre Woodard, who also earned an acting Emmy for her powerful performance) describes how a program designed to treat syphilis among blacks in the South was twisted into an inhuman study. Evers's conscience is torn between leaving her position on principle or remaining to give the dying men what comfort she can while they are systematically refused life-saving medicine at every turn. Fishburne costars as Caleb, a easygoing but ambitious young fieldhand who discovers the cold reality of the study while courting Miss Evers. Adapted by Walter Bernstein from a play by David Feldshuh, the film rises above the TV Movie of the Week mold with a complex moral structure that eschews (if you'll pardon the expression) black and white polarities for shades of gray as the doctors' initial compromises become a lifetime of lies. Ultimately that tone becomes the most disturbing facet of the drama: doctors and nurses so enmeshed in what is tantamount to a conspiracy they can find no way out, and a government that searches for scapegoats for its own cold-blooded research.
