Winner of the 1993 National Association of Black Journalists Award









From the University of Tuskegee website:



"For forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS)
conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate
sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were never told what disease they were suffering from or of
its seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for “bad blood,” their doctors had no intention of
curing them of syphilis at all.  The data for the experiment was to be collected from autopsies of the men, and they
were thus deliberately left to degenerate under the ravages of tertiary syphilis—which can include tumors, heart
disease, paralysis, blindness, insanity, and death. “As I see it,” one of the doctors involved explained,
“we have no further interest in these patients until they die.”This program, hosted by CBS News
correspondent Richard Schlesinger, includes an interview with one of the last surviving participants, Herman Shaw;
explains the role of Nurse Rivers; and presents the medical establishment's justification for disguising racism as
legitimate medical research." º









A nearly extinct relic of Nova's earlier, more journalistically daring days, (well before ExxonMobile became a main
underwriter), The Deadly Deception was once a documentary screened in high schools throughout the country.  It may be
still, although its internet presence is certainly not consistent with that of an important educational film.  The title
is unlisted at the WGBH website (the sales outlet for all Nova productions).  Upon navigating to the "Archive"
link on the Nova main page one discovers that only episodes aired from 1996-present have been cataloged.  Browsing
alphabetically under 'D' or 'T' is equally fruitless.  The only reference to the film anywhere within the entirety of
PBS' webspace is inside an un-linked alternate archive ¹, which begins with the notice:



"Please note that these listings are provided for informational purposes only; very few of these programs are
available for purchase on video. Those that are can be found at the NOVA section of Shop WGBH."



The film is listed as either out of stock or unavailable at amazon.com, buy.com, ecampus.com and extramovie.com, though
it is possible to check out a worn VHS copy from many university and public libraries.  A Chicago public television
station, WTTW 11, came under criticism when they refused to air the documentary.  The Coalition for Democracy in Public
Television cited an obvious conflict of interest between the station's programming department and "major channel 11
contributor General Electric," one of many powerful entities implicated in in the Tuskegee experiment ² The
allegations of network bias in favor of corporate funders were categorically denied by the station but the documentary
was never aired.









This is not the first time that a groundbreaking documentary on racial and social justice has been kept under
conspicuously tight wraps.  The case of The Deadly Deception bears a close resemblance to that of the Blackside
production Eyes on the Prize, an award-winning 14-episode series originally aired on PBS in 1987 and 1990 often
described as the quintessential documentary on the civil rights movement, which was subject to a decade-long rebroadcast
ban due to copyright filibustering by rights holders of some of the series' content (the use of the "Happy
Birthday" song, owned by Time-Warner, was one such example).³  Former leader of the Mississippi Freedom
Democratic Party, Lawrence Guyot, had this to say in response to the proprietary stranglehold: 



"I would call upon everyone who has access to 'Eyes on the Prize' to openly
violate any and all laws regarding its showing."



A digital redistribution movement via BitTorrent and other filesharing networks as well as unlicensed public screenings
in major US cities soon followed, both of which rallied immense popular support and effectively reintroduced the film
into the mainstream.  The content in question has since been re-licensed and the series revived and reissued in DVD
thanks to a $600,000 grant from the Ford Foundation and a personal $250,000 donation from Henry Louis Gates Jr.,
chairman of the African-American studies department at Harvard University.



Whether or not there has been any comparable outcry for the redistribution of The Deadly Deception, the combination of
the film's potentially engineered scarcity and great social and historical value make it meritorious of a similar share
campaign by default.  The quality of this rip should aptly illustrate the condition of the VHS tape from which it
originated.  Two previous copies had to be discarded due to such disrepair as to make them unwatchable.  If you would
like to see this film restored to a reputable quality, ask your library to purchase new copies of the film, or write
Nova/WGBH and request that this important piece of investigative journalism be brought into the 21st century with a DVD
release or remastered VHS.  Until then, seed, share, and distribute.  All foreign language subs are welcome and
encouraged as well.
