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.
