Covering only a few of the 218 children born from the project didn't give an accurate picture of its success or failure.

There were also unsubstantiated claims of racism based on the donors being white. Were non white Nobel winners or mensa members declined? What about the races of the mothers? There were children born in Egypt and Lebanon so I doubt it was limited to whites only as the filmmakers would have you believe.

Great documentary about a total nut! I've seen a few news stories about Robert Graham and his crazy sperm bank but this doc went much deeper than anything else out there. It even gives some additional shocks compared to the book. Recommended for any fans of bizzare science!

This is a truly thought-provoking documentary. This guy is a really talented film director (saw a documentary short of his as well). Genius Factory is a biography about the life of a billionaire, Robert Graham, who starts a 19 year long, racist eugenics experiment. It also covers the history of the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank and checks in with the super kids as adults, to find out if the experiment worked. The music is dark and really well done, and the documentary has a crazy cast of characters in it. I'm a big Michael Shermer fan, so it was cool to see him interviewed in this too.
