As part of THE GREEN, Sundance Channel presents a series of documentary films focusing on timely and pressing environmental issues of the day.
In a follow-up to 1996's Microcosmos, their award-winning, intimate look at life, death and sex in the insect world, French documentary filmmakers Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou take on nothing less than the birth of the universe and the origin of life. A creation narrative told by a West African griot poetically frames Genesis's artful melding of current scientific theory and myth, as it follows a progressive chronicle from the Big Bang to the evolution of terrestrial life. "A lyrical masterpiece...luminously photographed" - Time Out.
