The story

What Is A Dangerous Idea About?

The premise of A Dangerous Idea without spoilers.

This documentary explores the resurgence of a dangerous idea that has historically challenged the American Dream: the belief in inherent superiority among individuals and groups. Examining America’s past, it reveals how biological determinism has been used to justify discrimination against women and people of color, contributing to state-sanctioned injustices and disenfranchisement. The film investigates how this ideology has gained renewed prominence in recent times.
