Miss Evers’ Boys

Worldwide release of the film about the Tuskegee experiment, a secret “medical study” of the United States federal government’s public health service with black and poor men in the years from 1932 to 1972, designed to study the effects of untreated syphilis. The story is told from the perspective of a small-town nurse, Eunice Evers (Alfre Woodard), who is well aware of the lack of treatment, but feels that her role is to console the men involved, many of whom are close friends with her. In Brazil, the film received the name “Cobaias”. The film collected awards. We highlight the 1997 Emmy Award for Best Leading Actress in a Miniseries or Film: Alfre Woodard.
