Today on Rebelliously Curious, I'm joined by Lana Mills-Sowchuk, a participant in the Canadian legal action surrounding Project MKUltra and an advocate for victims of government experimentation.
For Lana, this story is deeply personal. It begins with an envelope containing her father Ivor's medical records, discovered in March 1984, and a family's decades-long search for answers about what happened to him at Montreal's Allan Memorial Institute.
Those records describe 54 high-voltage electroshock treatments, 54 grand mal seizures and 36 days of insulin-induced comas. What began as a family's attempt to understand a devastating chapter in their father's life eventually became a fight for accountability.
Today, we're exploring Ivor's story, the Canadian connection to MKUltra, the lasting impact on his family, and Lana's ongoing pursuit of justice.
Join us as we get rebelliously curious.
