The Gene: An Intimate History is a new documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns.
You can attend a FREE preview of the film on Tuesday, March 10th at 6 p.m., at the Georgia Public Broadcasting building in midtown Atlanta.
After the film, you can choose to stick around for a panel discussion about the bioethics of gene editing with scholars from the Emory Center for Ethics and the Personal Genetics Education Project.
Gene editing technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, bringing with it new therapies for a range of conditions. But what are the implications? The film explores the answer to that question.
