This film from Channel 4 looks at the devastating history and consequences of scientific racism. Videos on the Channel 4 website explain why some feel the argument around race has become shallow, and why others believe a fear of investigating genetic difference could limit medical progression. There is also discussion of why it was so important to investigate Science's Last Taboo. (Aired Channel 4, 6 October 2009 - 03 October 2009, screened at various times)
