There is a very good film called Miss Evers Boys that portrays the
unethical practices of research carried out on a black community in
Southern United States. I forget the exact name of the study, but it has
to do with a study of syphyllis amongst the black population. The
subjects were never truly informed of the purpose of the study and they
were never administered penincilin once this method of treatment became
available as the researchers were more interested in studying the
autoposy reports than in treating the illness.

My students have found this film very useful.
