Dr. Juliette Engel discusses the personal account in her memoir, Sparky, saying she was placed in MK-Ultra as a child and escaped in 1966. She describes the recovered memories, family connections she believes tied her to the program, and why she decided to speak publicly.

In the interview, Engel also recounts becoming a physician and later working to protect vulnerable children in the former Soviet Union. She explains how those experiences shaped her anti-trafficking work and why she believes the story still matters.
