“A racially charged story that will mesmerize you… You have to see it to believe it and then wonder why they didn’t teach you this chapter in history class.”–Oregon Documentary Film Festival

Human Zoos tells the shocking story of how indigenous peoples were put on public display in America as "missing links" between apes and humans, and how some scientists tried to breed a superior race through Darwinian eugenics. The documentary features interviews with a number of experts, including Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Pamela Newkirk, author of Spectacle: The Astonishing Life of Ota Benga.
