Developed as from photo and film files, this
documentary offers the same precision and criticism that Director Peter
Cohen showed in the brilliant The Architecture of Doom. Official documents
reveal ideas and theories involving eugenics and racial purity as forms
to perfect the human species and breed a new man. These concepts were
researched in the course of the twentieth century with varying attempts
to make them into reality. In Germany and in the ex-Soviet Union, the
process met with dire consequences in spite of having travelled in diverse
directions. In Germany, racial purity ran through the body, through perfection
and physical beauty, whereas in the Soviet Union, eugenics focused on
the brain and on the intellect.
This is a precious
document on biological manipulation as a weapon towards eliminating all
those who do not adapt to "racial standards" imposed by a fascist model
of human ideals.
