Synopsis

With genomic breakthroughs happening at breakneck speed, we can learn more about what our futures may hold than ever before.

But how much should we know?

And who gets to decide?

Inspired by a recent court case between a Native American tribe and an Arizona University, Informed Consent takes us into the personal and national debate about science v. belief, and whether our DNA is our destiny.
