New date for virtual event to be announced soon!
Please join us for a free viewing of the documentary film, Human Nature, and a live panel discussion. —
From executive producer Dan Rather and director Adam Bolt, the co-writer and editor of the Oscar-winning film Inside Job, comes the story of the biggest tech revolution of the 21st Century. And it isn鈥檛 digital, it鈥檚 biological.
A breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the basic building blocks of life. It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR鈥檚 far-reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it鈥檚 affecting, and the bioengineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and peer into an uncertain future.
