Описание: 🎬 BlackTree TV Presents: Saturday Afternoon Movies of the Week

📽️ Feature Presentation: Miss Evers’ Boys (1997)

Based on true events, Miss Evers’ Boys tells the story of the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study — a government experiment conducted on unsuspecting Black men in Alabama from the 1930s through the 1970s. The film follows Nurse Eunice Evers (portrayed by the incomparable Alfre Woodard) as she becomes a liaison between the medical establishment and the community she serves.

Told through the lens of compassion and moral conflict, the story centers around four men — “Miss Evers’ boys” — who believe they are receiving treatment, when in fact they are being denied proper care in the name of unethical research.

As the years go by, Nurse Evers must confront the consequences of her participation in the study, balancing her loyalty to her patients with the pressure to stay silent. The film is a harrowing reflection on trust, betrayal, and the cost of complicity.

🎭 About the Cast & Crew
• Alfre Woodard: Her performance as Nurse Evers is both tender and devastating — earning her a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe nomination.
• Laurence Fishburne: As Caleb Humphries, one of the study’s victims, Fishburne brings emotional depth and clarity to a role that demands empathy and strength.
• Ossie Davis, Joe Morton, and Obba Babatundé: These veteran actors round out a powerhouse cast, adding layers of humanity to a dark chapter in U.S. history.
• Directed by Joseph Sargent: A master of socially conscious storytelling (Something the Lord Made), Sargent handles the subject matter with the gravity and respect it deserves.

🏆 Awards & Legacy
• Emmy Winner: Outstanding Made for Television Movie
• NAACP Image Award Winner
• Peabody Award Winner

Miss Evers’ Boys is not just a film — it’s a testimony. A reminder of why we must question authority, protect the vulnerable, and remember the lives lost in the name of so-called progress.
