Inside Project MKUltra: The CIA's Dark Mind Control Program

Dr.Docs' Take

Another thorough pass at Project MKUltra, the CIA's use of LSD, electroshock and psychological torture on unwitting civilians, prisoners, and even its own people. I keep returning to this because it is the definitive example of a conspiracy theory that turned out to be conservative. The reality was worse than the rumor. Watch it and understand why, when people say the agency would never, the honest answer is that it already did, on the record.

This short documentary revisits Project MKUltra, the CIA's disturbing Cold War mind-control program. It recounts how the agency experimented on unwitting civilians and prisoners using LSD, electroshock and psychological torture in a decades-long pursuit of controlling the human mind. The film condenses a shocking history of secret abuse into a stark account. It is a chilling watch for anyone interested in hidden government experiments. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
