About

Unselected is a feature documentary that follows a Black woman navigating IVF who is offered the power to screen her future children's genes. Her decision opens onto a larger history, tracing a direct line from J. Marion Sims and Henrietta Lacks to the genetic screening platforms operating today. The film brings the communities most affected by genetic medicine into a conversation that has long left them out.
