In this shocking EXORCISTA investigation, Victoria Unikel unearths Project Sunshine—the Cold War program that harvested children's bones to measure nuclear fallout.
With no consent, and often no notice, U.S. and allied governments stole bodies from morgues and graves, ground them into powder, and recorded the radiation levels with clinical detachment.
Based on declassified files, media reports, and whistleblower testimony, this episode tracks the arc from secrecy to scandal to a treaty that saved millions—at the expense of thousands who never knew they were part of an experiment.
