Gen Mishima is a Chilean science fiction series in the biopunk subgenre. Produced by Parox and funded by the Chilean National Television Council (CNTV) in 2006, the show targets a young adult audience. Comprising eight episodes of 50 minutes each, it is regarded as the first Chilean series to explore themes of genetic manipulation, drawing inspiration from works such as Brave New World and Children of Men.
The plot centers on Ignacio Maiakovsky, a journalist investigating the former students of the Instituto Porvenir —a secretive school for gifted children, shut down following allegations of illegal experimentation. His investigation uncovers a hidden web of genetics, religion, conspiracy, and deeply intertwined human relationships.
