A Dangerous Idea: Eugenics, Genetics and the American Dream is a 2016 documentary film about genetics, eugenics, and social inequality in the United States. It reveals how public misunderstanding of genetics and the promotion of genetic pseudoscience has served as a rationale for oppression and discrimination throughout modern American history. The film presents the viewer with two deeply held views that are diametrically opposed: the belief that the American Dream of equality is possible to attain, and the belief that genes make us who we are.
