Sidney Gottlieb: The Man Who Tried To Control Minds

About this episode

Sidney Gottlieb led a fairly simple life.  He and his wife lived on a farm. He milked goats and practiced meditation.  From the looks of this spectacularly mundane, even boring-appearing man, you would have no idea of one tiny inescapable tidbit ...Sidney Gottlieb is one of the most prolific torturers the Cold War has ever produced. He spearheaded a program run by the CIA charged with the sole goal of controlling people's minds called MK Ultra. In its wake exists a body count numbering in the thousands and unspeakable suffering that has yet to heal. This is his treacherous true story.
