Mysteries of the Driftless - Movie Trailer

Показать описание

What strange forces spared one isolated region along the Upper Mississippi River from the repeated crushing and scouring effects of massive continental glaciers during the last million and a half years? What pre-Ice Age throwbacks survived here in this unique refuge that holds more Native American effigy mounds, petroglyph caves, strange geological features, and rare species than anywhere in the Midwest? A team of science filmmakers explores these questions and more in this captivating adventure documentary about the Driftless Zone.

The documentary was directed by two award-winning filmmaking scientists: biologist Rob Nelson and geologist Dan Bertalan. Tim Jacobson and George Howe conceived of the idea for the project, identified the shooting locations, led fundraising efforts, and served as the executive producers.

Others starring in the film include archaeologist James Theler, Ph.D., author/archaeologist Robert Boszhardt, the late UW geography professor Jim Knox, DNR ecologists Armund Bartz and Darcy Kind, Tim Yager of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and Abbie Church of Mississippi Valley Conservancy.
