Dear scientific documentary making people,

Below I have pictured three strands of hair from my own head that fell out in the shower this morning. When you say something is the width of a human hair, could you perhaps be more specific? Like, in micro terms, the difference between the widths of these hairs are quite significant, and I’m sure the range across the population is even more stark…

Love,

Someone who spends too much time thinking about stuff when I should be packing x

TRAILER: “HUMAN NATURE” (2020)

Directed by Adam Bolt, Written By Adam Bolt & Regina Sobel

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’s far-reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it’s 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.
