New Showbiz Analysis

The documentary offers a critical look at the Nazi regime's efforts to manipulate evolution. However, because the subject matter is inherently tied to exclusionary practices, the film lacks modern characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity. While it dismantles the 'Aryan' mythos and exposes the misuse of scientific authority, the focus remains on male figures and white-supremacist ideologies. Ultimately, the diversity in the film is constrained by its historical context.

Official Synopsis

This is the untold story of a Nazi vision, that went far beyond the military conquest of European countries. As part of their crazed dream to create a thousand-year Reich they developed detailed blueprints for Aryan settlements and vast hunting parks for ‘Aryan’ animals. Goering and Himmler employed Germany’s best scientists to launch a hugely ambitious programme of genetic manipulation to change the course of nature itself, both in the wild and for domestic use. In a fascinating blend of politics and biology, Hitler's Jurassic Monsters is the true and asthonishing story of how the Nazis tried to take control of nature and change the course of evolution.
