Transhumanism gets its most direct feature-length treatment here: the idea that genetic engineering, robotics, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence might let people rewrite their own bodies and minds rather than just extend them. Director Frank Theys, working with researcher Michel Bauwens, sits down with scientists and thinkers who take the premise seriously and pushes them on what it would actually mean to merge with machines or edit the human genome for enhancement rather than treatment. The film moves through labs and interviews rather than reenactments, letting its subjects lay out competing visions: some treat technological transcendence as the next stage of evolution, others as a threat to whatever makes a person a person. No single expert gets the last word. What holds the film together is the argument itself, run out to its full range of consequences, from designer bodies to artificial minds, without settling which future is coming.
