00:00In 1980s South Africa, a government doctor was given unlimited funding in one mission,
00:05create weapons that could kill black people while leaving white people completely unharmed.
00:10This was Project Coast.
00:12Under cardiologist Wouter Basson, the program ran for over a decade.
00:16His team developed poison hidden inside everyday products, chocolates, cigarettes, deodorant,
00:23things you would never suspect.
00:25They engineered sterilization agents meant to be slipped into water supplies and food.
00:29They tested crowd control chemicals on human subjects.
00:32They produced murder weapons disguised as medicine.
00:35The goal was not warfare.
00:37It was the slow, invisible elimination of an entire population sorted by race.
00:42When apartheid collapsed, Basson was arrested.
00:46Prosecutors brought 67 charges against him, including multiple counts of murder.
00:50He was acquitted on every single one.
00:52He went back to practicing medicine, treating patients, living a normal life.
00:57No prison, no consequence, no accountability.
01:01A program designed to commit racial genocide through science simply ended,
01:05and the man who built it walked free.
