The Eugenics Crusade tells the story of the eugenics movement and its long history in the United States, from its beginnings in the study of heredity to its rise as a popular movement promising to uplift the human race through state-sponsored sterilization to its influence on immigration laws designed to close our borders to groups deemed genetically inferior. This film by Michelle Ferrari traces the movement to breed a “better” American race, which turned the science of heredity into an instrument of social control that even led to forced sterilization campaigns. Like nearly all episodes of “The American Experience,” this one is constructed using interviews with various experts today combined with photos, film footage, and evocative music and comes off as expertly crafted.
