The State of Eugenics is a somber documentary that uncovers the grim history of forced sterilization in North Carolina, touching on a very dark side of the eugenics movement. It's not just about statistics; it really dives into the personal stories of those affected, giving faces to the numbers. The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, which allows you to absorb the weight of each revelation. The archival footage combined with contemporary interviews adds a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after viewing. What sets it apart is how it challenges the viewer to confront uncomfortable truths about societal standards of 'desirability'—definitely a heavy watch, but one that sheds light on a crucial, often overlooked chapter in American history.
