If science could predict your intelligence\, health\, appearance and potential from your DNA\, should we use it? And if your bi ology says you'll never be exceptional\, can determination prove it wrong? In this Watch & Talk\, Davie\, famous for movie sessions combining deep t hinking\, silly jokes and somehow making you see films in a completely dif ferent light\, will take us into Gattaca\, the brilliant 1997 cult classic about a society where genetic engineering has transformed human life. Wha t was futuristic science fiction when the film was released now feels rema rkably close to home: we can already edit genes\, screen embryos and learn increasingly powerful things about people from their DNA. We'll watch som e of Gattaca's most memorable scenes and use them to explore its central q uestion: Are we more than our biology? If we could give our children genet ic advantages\, would it be wrong not to? What happens to equality when so me people can afford to engineer better opportunities from birth? And how much of human achievement comes from natural ability anyway\, compared wit h ambition\, environment\, luck and sheer refusal to give up? You don't ne ed to have seen the film or know anything about genetics to join. Come for a beautifully made piece of science fiction that has become more relevant with age\, and stay for a smart\, funny and potentially very deep convers ation about DNA\, destiny and what ultimately makes us who we are. Let's s it back with good friends in comfy chairs\, watch scenes from a mind-blowi ng film\, and\, of course\, let's have an unforgettable discussion about o ur mutual journey!
