Description
The never-ending challenge with eugenics is making that abhorrent history relevant to a contemporary audience. A Dangerous Idea meets that challenge by showing how the very same biological justifications of inequality that were used in the past to justify involuntary sterilization, slavery, and genocide are employed in the 21st century to justify anti-immigration policies, the gender pay gap, and racial health disparities. As modern science and modern medicine focus more on genetics, A Dangerous Idea reminds viewers that this obsession is employed by many to promote a vision of society made up of biological “haves” and “have nots.”
Bullfrog Communities uses film and discussion as a simple way for concerned citizens to stay informed about pressing issues: water, economic justice, food, energy, climate, immigration, and environment. Following each film, Oasis Executive Director Scott Sharp leads a discussion.
