Genome: The Future Is Now (Necessary Films)
Imagine the day when you and your doctor sit down to review a copy of your own personal genome. Scientists are on the brink of discovering the genetic factors in diabetes, heart disease, common cancers, high blood pressure, asthma, mental illness - virtually any disease that tends to run in families - thereby launching a revolution in health care. GENOME: THE FUTURE IS NOW, a multi-media documentary project with a film and interactive website, has exclusive access to Harvard scientist Dr. George Church and his Personal Genome Project (PGP) in which he unlocks the genome sequences of the first ten volunteers offering themselves up - as guinea pigs, pioneers, genomic astronauts - for an unprecedented experiment at the crossroads of science, health, and ethics.
Currently in production. Seeking funding and distribution. Please email us for more information.
