Presents the facts from the infamous case of Buck v. Bell in the 1920s, which involved the Supreme Court ratification of Virginia's compulsory sterilization of "feebleminded" people, revealing how judicial powers can be used to corrupt and destroy equal protection under the law for poor, defenseless citizens.
