Across channels like PBS Idea Channel, Blank On Blank, and It’s Okay To Be Smart, PBS Digital Studios has produced engaging videos about science, philosophy, pop culture, and many other topics in between. Most of those videos run between two and 15 minutes, but now, for the first time, Pbsds is releasing a project that is well outside that range. Its BrainCraft channel is home to Mutant Menu, a 37-minute short film that discusses advancements in genetic engineering.
On BrainCraft, which has more than 350,000 subscribers and over 18 million total views, creator Vanessa Hill leads viewers on an exploration of topics like “psychology, neuroscience and why we act the way we do.” In Mutant Menu, Hill’s particular focus is on Crispr, a tool that allows humans to modify their own genes. The film examines the pros and cons of the technology at its center while also considering the ethical questions Crispr raises.
