I've heard a number of interviews/podcasts with Jennifer 'The Dude' Doudna about CRISPR/Cas9 over the years. Usually a great listen, she's pretty funny and from all indications has that great combo of taking her work seriously but not herself.

The part of the documentary where she relates the Hitler dream, weighing in on the impact of her work is a poignant moment. A very responsible scientist.

I haven't seen it yet, but there's a new Nova episode about CRISPR I've been meaning to watch: "CRISPR Gene-Editing Reality Check".

(Does Berkeley still have parking spots reserved for Nobel Laureates? They'll have to add a new one...)

It was also broadcast through PBS NOVA here in the US (and it is available on PBS Passport -- that is how I watched it). In fact, I thought it was a PBS NOVA episode, but it is apparently an independent film.

It's not on Netflix Germany.
