Sam and Clara face a literal life-altering decision: to edit or not to edit their unborn child's genes. While Sam struggles with the idea of erasing his family history after having lost his father to cancer, Clara reckons with the ailments they could help their child avoid. As the couple searches for guidance wherever they can, they see the fates they may prevent through the editing, amplifying the magnitude of the stakes. Between the Shimmer & the Blinding exposes the irreducible tension of progress and uncertainty. Playing out over two generations, it will shine a light on everything you know about genetic inheritance, your connection to the past, and your influence over the future.
