Written by Cinobo

Werner Herzog takes us on a cinematic journey 30,000 years into the past, with exclusive access to the French cave where the oldest known human paintings are found. It takes your breath away.

Synopsis

In 1994, a team of scientists discovered a cave in the South of France that had been perfectly preserved for more than 20,000 years and contained the oldest known human paintings. Aware of the cultural importance of the Chauvet Cave, the French government immediately cut off all access to it, except for a few archaeologists and paleontologists. For this documentary, Herzog was granted limited access allowing us to enter the cave and admire works of art created 32,000 years ago.
