Gattaca turned real – can we improve on humanity?

In 2018, Chinese scientist He Jiankui managed something considered science fiction until then – to change the genetic structure of embryos. What consequences does this entail for him, genetically engineered children and all of humanity? This investigative documentary thriller follows the perspective of the scientific community, journalists and people close to the author himself. Together, we can assemble a mosaic that is just the tip of the iceberg in genetic engineering research, which made the whole world question whether we have the right to play with our genes.
