Plot

In the heart of America, a perilous concept has lurked since inception, threatening the very fabric of the American Dream. It is the idea that certain groups and individuals inherently surpass others, claiming more rights by birthright. This belief in biological determinism has justified some of America's darkest chapters. Now, it ominously resurfaces in the powerful documentary, A DANGEROUS IDEA. This film exposes how the politics of biological determinism have marginalized women and people of color, rationalizing state-sanctioned injustices against America's most defenseless citizens. Currently, under the Trump administration, this contentious concept is gaining renewed momentum. Through enlightening interviews with social thinkers like Van Jones and Robert Reich, as well as distinguished scientists, A DANGEROUS IDEA challenges our understanding of gene science and its potential misuse. Unrivaled in its approach, the documentary sheds light on how erroneous scientific claims have undermined hard-won strides towards equality. It also reveals the looming threat posed by influential entities ready to wield the gene myth to dismantle the American Dream once more. A DANGEROUS IDEA is a stirring call to scrutinize the subtle but potent forces that shape our society, reminding us of the power inherent in truth and collective action.
