Teaser trailer for the award-winning documentary "Human Zoos." For more information check out humanzoos.org/.
"Human Zoos" tells the shocking story of how thousands of indigenous peoples were put on public display in America in the early decades of the twentieth century, and most famously one man, Ota Benga.
Often touted as “missing links” between man and apes, these native peoples were harassed and demeaned. Their public display was arranged with the enthusiastic support of the most elite members of the scientific community, and it was promoted uncritically by America’s leading newspapers. This award-winning documentary explores the heartbreaking story of what happened, shows how African-American ministers and other people of faith tried to push back, and reveals how some people today are still drawing on Social Darwinism in order to dehumanize others. The film also explores the tragic story of eugenics in America, the effort to breed humans beings based on Darwinian principles.
