Hyvissä aikeissa

The documentary series delves into the history of Finnish racial selection and gives a voice to both the practitioners and the targets of eugenics. The eager desire to improve people swept across the Western world in the early decades of the 20th century. Those who believed in racial selection thought that by restricting individual freedom, the common good could be promoted. Eugenics was a socio-political tool of its time and thus also an inseparable part of the history of the welfare state.
