Selective human breeding during a time of ideologies that promised to create a perfect world. Eugenics was once considered more groundbreaking than the invention of the wheel. It was supposed to save mankind from serious genetic loads. After World War II, the term of eugenics almost disappeared from the world's dictionaries. Pavel Štingl revives the idea of eugenics, but presents it as an example of messianic syndrome and misuse of science. Will humanity survive eugenics or vice versa? (official distributor synopsis)

English An interesting documentary about what it actually means to have a pure race and human breeding. I must admit, I'm not sure what the documentary wanted to say exactly, but it definitely makes you think about what humans are capable of doing when they pursue a specific idea, whether it's bad, truthful, terrifying, or progressive.
