In this short documentary, we revisit the ricin letters that were mailed to targets including the White House, the U.S. Senate, and other government offices in the United States and abroad. Using archival reporting, case documents, and expert commentary, the video explains how ricin is extracted from ordinary castor beans, how it can be turned into a lethal powder, and why it has appealed to lone actors and would‑be assassins as a tool of political intimidation.
Focusing on incidents from the early 2000s through the 2010s, the story traces how these envelopes moved through the postal system, the health risks they created for unsuspecting workers, and the large-scale hazmat responses and criminal investigations that followed. Along the way, it places the ricin letters in the wider history of bioterrorism, security screening, and modern political threats, showing how a common plant became part of the hidden landscape of fear around mail, government, and public life.
