A dangerous idea : Eugenics, genetics and the American dream / a Paragon Media and Cornerstone Campaign production ; in association with Denkmal Film; director, Stephanie Welch ; written by Stephanie Welch, Andrew Kimbrell.
This documentary reveals how biologically determined politics has disenfranchised women and people of color, provided a rationale for state sanctioned crimes committed against America's most vulnerable citizens, and now gains new traction under the Trump administration. A radical reassessment of the meaning, use and misuse of gene science. Like no other film before it, this documentary brings to light how false scientific claims have rolled back long fought for gains in equality.
