# Biohackers – A Biohacking Documentary on Netflix

## About the Documentary

 The German series, shot on location in student flats and lake scenes, delve into the world of self-proclaimed biohackers who manipulate their bodies in an effort to extend life spans. Monitoring their heart rate, brainwaves and erections while editing their DNA with DIY genome-editing kits (see BioNews 1011) are just some of the techniques involved. Mia’s roommates Jasper and Ole, with petri dishes in the fridge and gene-modified mushrooms in their pasta, provide welcome comic relief in this series of thrillers, while their portrayals as radical biohackers could possibly damage genuine genomics and reproductive medicine research efforts. However, this series remains thriller at heart and its depictions of science may endanger their reputations.

 

## Synopsis

Yet somehow Ditter manages to weave an engaging tale with an engaging cast: college freshman Mia enrolls at Freiburg University hoping to learn about revolutionary gene-hacking technology from Tanja Lorenz’s star lecturer Tanja Lorenz and quickly enters a shadowy world of illegal genetic experiences where she meets Jasper and Niklas — both are experts who alter genes with no research facilities or oversight!
