Surviving Eugenics is a thought-provoking documentary that dives deep into the dark history of eugenics, particularly focusing on Alberta, Canada. The film is framed by the raw and honest testimonies of survivors who lived through this brutal chapter of history, which persisted until 1972. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to absorb the weight of their stories, and it has a somber tone that resonates long after viewing. The visuals might be sparse, but they complement the gravity of the subject matter. It's fascinating how the film connects past injustices to contemporary discussions about bodily autonomy and ethics in medicine. It’s not just a recounting of events; it’s a poignant reminder of the resilience of those affected.
