Overview

A hard-hitting documentary about us - humans. Why do we sometimes become aggressive, feel offended, resort to violence or oppress other people? This film provides the answers. While most similar documentaries deal with a minority - psychopaths - this film deals with the rest of us. Director and producer Staffan J Thorsell shines a bright light on the origins of violence, racism and hatred.
