Genesis 2.0

Mammoth Hunters in Siberia

Werner Herzog meets Jurassic Park in this real-life thriller that explores humanity's reckless courage and the dawning of a new and unprecedented age of scientific change.

On the remote New Siberian Islands in the Arctic Ocean, hunters search for tusks of extinct mammoths. One day, they discover a surprisingly well-preserved mammoth carcass. Resurrecting the woolly mammoth is a first manifestation of the next great technological revolution - genetics. It may well turn our world upside down.

Winner of a Special Jury Prize for Cinematography at the Sundance Film Festival.

"A fascinating and somewhat frightening documentary set in the fast-forward arena of synthetic biology." - Michael Rechtshaffen, The Los Angeles Times
