FIXED: The Science / Fiction of Human Enhancement

A haunting, subtle, urgent documentary, FIXED questions commonly held beliefs
about disability and normalcy by exploring technologies that promise to
change our bodies and mind forever. Told primarily through the perspectives
of five people with disabilities: a scientist, journalist, disability justice
educator, bionics engineer, and exoskeleton test pilot, FIXED takes a close
look at the implications of emerging human enhancement technologies for the
future of humanity.

--

From bionic limbs and neural implants to prenatal screening, researchers
around the world are hard at work developing a myriad of technologies to fix
or enhance the human body. FIXED: The Science / Fiction of Human Enhancement
takes a close look at the drive to be “better than human” and the radical
technological innovations that may take us there.

What does "disabled" mean when a man with no legs can run faster than most
people in the world? What does "normal" mean when cosmetic surgery procedures
have risen over 450% percent in the last fifteen years and increasing numbers
of people turn to "smart drugs" every day to get ahead at school or work?
With prenatal screening able to predict hundreds of probable conditions, who
should determine what kind of people get to be born? If you could augment
your body's abilities in any way imaginable, would you?
