'Las Borinqueñas' Tells the True Story of Unethical Contraceptive Testing in Puerto Rico

In the 1950s, American doctor Gregory Pincus concocted a plan to test out his new contraceptive pill on Puerto Rican women, without warning them of the potential risks. A new play from Nelson Diaz-Marcano draws inspiration from that story to highlight the lives of five women who become involved with the trial. Diaz-Marcano and director Rebecca Aparicio join us to discuss, "Las Borinqueñas," which is running at the Ensemble Studio Theater through April 28. This segment is guest-hosted by Kousha Navidar .
