Homo Sapiens 1900
Peter Cohen's sobering look at the world-wide interest in eugenics throughout the early 20th century. Emerging around 1900, eugenic movements spawned government-sanctioned research projects whose stated goals were the improvement of the human species through biological means - including positive breeding, sterilisation, and the elimination of 'degenerate' members of society. Using archival footage and long-hidden documents, this haunting exploration examines the social and political undercurrents that helped generate the often feverish quest to build a superior race.
