Apr 15, 2020 The subject of this documentary is fascinating and it's original intend is laudable. Unfortunatly, as a geneticist myself, I have to say that this documentary is very biais and ignorant about our actual capacities, as of today. I deplore the lack of scientific explaination or description that would inform the general public. I find cuts, in the interviews of re-known scientists, to be mis-leading even contradictory when compared to the actual interviews. I was exited to finally see a documantary on genome editing with Jennifer Doudna in it, but the non-rigorous approach of the film crew has made me really sad. See more Jan 6, 2020 One of those shows you may avoid. It's just a little too scary because it's real. Well, there's no putting the genie back in the bottle. This program shows several stories from different angles; a very conservative scientist backed by the government to very liberal garage scientist mailing out CRISPR kits to home scientists. Kind of a must see whether you like it or not. See more Dec 21, 2019 The show is On Point. Displays multiple sides and is very well executed See more Read all reviews
