The documentary Human Nature, which is available on Amazon Prime, offers an accessible, accurate explanation of Crispr, the molecular biology discovery that gives scientists a way to correct and cure genetic diseases, among other potential uses, but acting like molecular scissors to cut out and replace defective genes. The beautifully shot, well-researched Human Nature presents a mostly balanced picture of this groundbreaking discovery.
Crispr is often called “molecular scissors” for its ability to alter DNA sequences, even down to changing a single base pair, the “letters” of the DNA alphabet, a level of precision never before possible. Human Nature does an excellent job of covering the basics of...

"Should we really be manipulating the hereditary of future generations given our lack of knowledge about so many things...?" Greenwich Entertainment has debuted an official Us trailer for an indie documentary film titled Human Nature, which already premiered at the SXSW and Cph:dox Film Festivals this year. The biggest tech revolution of the 21st Century isn't digital, it's biological. A breakthrough called Crispr has given us unprecedented control over the "building blocks of life." It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere, and even designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of Crispr's far-reaching implications. Featuring the top minds including Jennifer Doudna (Uc Berkeley), Alta Charo (Max Planck Institute), David Baltimore (Cal Tech), George Church (Harvard University). This seems to be the definitive introduction to how it's changing the world, while also stoking ethical discussions. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Adam Bolt's doc Human Nature,...
