Trailer

Why watch this film?

Great technological and scientific advances always bring considerable and highly profound questions about their possibilities, ethical implications, and consequences. New discoveries in genetics, and genetic engineering itself, are perhaps those that have aroused the most debate in the scientific community, but also in many other areas of life in society due to their ramifications, ranging from paternity to war. 'Human Nature', premiered at the 2019 South by Southwest Festival, is the kind of documentary that explains the science behind such a complex topic, in depth but in terms understandable to the general public, starting from the CRISPR (short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) gene editing technology. The documentary offers a balanced vision of the possibilities of this technology for the benefit of humanity, but also of its unknowns and dangers.
