Show Notes

Today  Leonard speaks to director Stephanie Welch and co-writer Andrew Kimbrell.

The documentary “A Dangerous Idea: Eugenics, Genetics and the American Dream” reveals how biologically determined politics has disenfranchised women and people of color, provided a rationale for state sanctioned crimes committed against America’s most vulnerable citizens, and now gains new traction under the Trump administration. Featuring interviews with social thinkers such as Van Jones and Robert Reich, as well as prominent scientists, “A Dangerous Idea” is a radical reassessment of the meaning, use and misuse of gene science.

Today  Leonard speaks to director Stephanie Welch and co-writer Andrew Kimbrell.
