Often touted as "missing links" between man and apes, these #NativePeoples were harassed and demeaned. Their #PublicDisplay was arranged with the enthusiastic support of the most elite members of the #ScientificCommunity, and it was promoted uncritically by American's leading newspapers. This award-winning #documentary explores the heartbreaking story of what happened, shows how #AfricanAmerican ministers and other people of faith tried to push back, and reveals how some people today are still drawing on #SocialDarwinism in order to #dehumanize others. The film also explores the tragic story of #eugenics in America, the effort to breed human beings based on #Darwinian principles.

In this feature #documentary Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Shuibo Wang (Sunrise Over Tiananmen Square) aims his camera at the astonishing story of 21 #AmericanSoldiers who opted to stay in #China after the #KoreanWar ended in 1954.
Back home in the United States, #McCarthyism was at its height and many Americans believed these men were brainwashed by Chinese communists. But what really happened? Using never-before-seen footage from the Chinese camps and interviews with former #PoWs and their families, They Chose China tells the fascinating stories of these forgotten American #dissidents.
Why the USA Is So Huge 🇺🇸 From 13 Colonies to 50 States 🤯
Back in the 1830s, President Jackson (a curse upon his vile memory) ordered the removal of the #Tsalagi/ #Cherokee in north Georgia and neighboring states so the settlers could get the gold underneath them. Chief Justice Marshall issued an injunction. The President replied “Mr Marshall has made his ruling, now let him enforce it.” Most of the Tsalagi were death-marched to Oklahoma.
Same thing is happening now, but to everyone this time, not just to the Native population. There’s no legal recourse; this is how USA institutions are set up. A president with an allied congress basically has free rein.
Some of the Tsalagi went up into the Great Smoky Mountains. They’re still there.
(Please feel free to correct me on the details here. Most of this is drawn from memory.)
