Description

As hunters search for incredibly valuable tusks from the extinct wooly mammoth, the discovery of a remarkably well-preserved carcass leads scientists on a path to bring the ancient creature back to life. This Jurassic Park-like ambition of bioengineering is made possible by recent advances in high tech genetics—but opens up questions about our relationship with nature and the order of things. Set in the sweeping vistas of New Siberian Islands in the Arctic Ocean, and featuring a score by Max Richter and Edward Artemyev, Genesis 2.0 is a globe-spanning science-thriller unlike any doc you’ll see this year.
