Initiative P-8 (animated 2023 documentary)

Initiative P-8 is a 2023 American animated science fiction documentary film produced by Paramount Pictures and Fredrich Productions. It was written and directed by Clarence Horden and produced by Natt Lewis, from an original idea by Joseph Davis and Samantha Nash-Blythewood. The film surrounds the events of the eponymous Initiative P-8, an initiative conducted by 20 research facilities to convert willing people into cyborgs using a process nicknamed Bio-Fusion. The documentary portrays most of these biomechatronic cyborg experiments as being entirely flawed, documenting the various problems that the cyborgs experienced such as becoming too sick to function or dying during their operation. Though the settings, events, and characters are fictional, the series presents a moral about what could potentially happen if there were funding and/or the technology to bring complete cybernetic organisms (in the case of organic matter entirely fused with artificial material) into reality.

Description
Cybermen. You may have heard of them. They are a species of space-faring cyborgs from the television show Doctor Who. They often forcefully convert human beings into more Cybermen in a painful process in order to populate their ranks. Nobody would stand anyone that could do such atrocities to an innocent, loving being. But, the people who decided to refuse conversion would learn the consequences. Even if we weren't converted, humanity itself still did these acts thanks to greed, gambling, and illegal activities.

This is a direct reflection of the dystopian society you are about to observe with us, scientific research companies have been gained revenue from converting people into literal amalgamations of flesh, blood, and machine. This is really sad because, there are many of these flesh and steel abominations who have suffered terrible fates. The scientists involved even admitted their acts were atrocities being generated for profit and their employers never caring for ethics.

A sci-fi trope, people around the world have already grown up with the idea of Cyborgs. But organisms with mechanical implants is not what just happened. Scientists figured out a way to intertwine flesh directly with machine, and this all originated as a project by a German to revive his son as an anthropomorphic locomotive. It is a story that begins in wartime Germany, and ends with a discovery that would change public perception of cyborgs forever.
