Footprints in Stone
1973 · 43m · Documentary
A key piece of the Paluxy Human Track narrative that swept the country's creation-evolution dialogue in the 1970s and 1980s and cemented the claims that dinosaur and human track ways were preserved in the Paluxy River in the public sphere. Originally release in January 1973, the film was considered lost media by the 1980's but a 16mm cut of the film resurfaced in 2023.

Unearthed - The Mystery of the Shaman Woman
2024 · ★ 8.4
One of the most significant cases in European archaeology is the grave of the shaman woman of Bad Dürrenberg, a key finding of the last hunter-gatherer groups. From a time when there were no written records, this site was first researched by the Nazis, who saw a physically strong male warrior from an ‘original Aryan race’ in the buried person. It was, in fact, the most powerful woman of her time. The latest research shows that she was dark-skinned, had physical deformities, and was a spiritual leader. The documentary – using high-end CGI and motion capture – compares the researchers of the Nazi era, who misrepresented and instrumentalised their findings, to today’s researchers, who meticulously compile findings and evidence, and use cross- disciplinary methods to examine and evaluate them. It also substantiates the theory of the powerful roles women played in prehistoric times. The story of this woman, buried with a baby in her arms, still fascinates us 9,000 years after her death.
