Summary
On The Trail To Evil
Are the brains of psychopaths different or do we all have the capacity to be evil? They're charming, they lie without the slightest scruples and they are capable of manipulating their environment. Psychopaths murder and rape without regret and can still come across as the nicest people in the world. But what is going on in their minds? That question, which neuroscientists and forensic psychiatrists have been pondering to this day, is the topic of thisfilm.
Evil fascinates us, as we can see from many examples in film, art and literature. It seems to be devoid of morals and law. Centuries ago, anatomists tried to open the human skull and penetrate deep inside the brain. Today, state-of-the-art appliances enable us to scan the brain to make processes visible inside of it.
The documentary features a series of experts showing their theories, their examinations and their results around the question: how can decent men become ruthless murderers?
A journey to the center of the brain.
