S2|E7: Project MK-ULTRA

We delve into the shadowy depths of MK-Ultra, the CIA's infamous mind control program that spanned the Cold War era. From its inception in the early 1950s through its official termination in 1973, we uncover the chilling experiments conducted on unwitting subjects involving drugs, hypnosis, and psychological torture. Through interviews with historians, psychologists, and survivors, we piece together how this secret project aimed to develop techniques for mind control, interrogation, and espionage. As we navigate through declassified documents and testimonies, the episode sheds light on the ethical boundaries crossed in the name of national security and the lasting impact on its victims.
