Directed by Academy Award nominee David Massey, the film chronicles the medical cartel's long history of targeting minorities for unethical experiments, the acquiescence of regulatory agencies and medical ethicists, and the silence of physicians who allow these atrocities to continue. " Medical Racism: The New Apartheid is the most powerful and important documentary ever produced on medical experimentation and other abuses against African Americans and people on the continent of Africa," said Curtis Cost. "I'm extremely proud of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for having the courage to produce this desperately needed documentary. It was Senator Ted Kennedy who brought the Tuskegee syphilis experiments to an end. It was President John F. Kennedy who had the courage to send troops to defend the civil rights of African-Americans. Now, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. continues that tradition with this film. As an African-American, I am extremely proud to be part of this film and of all of the amazing people who contributed to making it possible."
