Ice People Discoveries Make Worldwide Headlines

In Ice People, documentary filmmaker Anne Aghion follows research geologists Dr. Allan Ashworth and Dr. Adam Lewis for months, as they pick their way across Antarctica's interior dry valleys, eventually discovering--in front of Aghion's camera!--plant and animal fossils that prove the ice shelf at the bottom of the world was once green.

News reports in The Associated Press and The Telegraph (UK) indicate the discoveries are significant in determining causes and effects of climate change, including global warming--which, as they point out, is the reversal of the big freeze that created Antarctica's ice shelf 14-million years ago.

Ice People, not yet released in America, is an important addition to the list of documentaries--An Inconvenient Truth and The 11th Hour among them--that raise public awareness about the dangers of global warming.

While waiting for the film's release, watch Ice People preview clips. Highly recommended!
