The Colony | BBC

Reporter/Producer/Composer

For decades, the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded participated in America’s forgotten eugenics program.

Today, there is still a small community of survivors living in Lynchburg — all of them sterilized when they were teenagers.

In this audio documentary for the BBC, we follow attorney Mark Bold as he seeks justice and reparations for survivors, unraveling the history of American eugenics through the eyes of those affected most.
