On the remote New Siberian islands in the Arctic Ocean, hunters are searching for the tusks of extinct mammoths. Never has the price of ivory been higher, a single example may well be worth tens of thousands of francs. That the Siberian cold not only preserves tusks the hunters discover when they find a surprisingly well-preserved mammoth carcass. An amazing find that attracts geneticists from around the world who intend to resurrect the woolly mammoth Jurassic Park style. A project that initiates the next major technological revolution: man as creator. Director Christian Frei provides a fascinating insight into genetic research and the new world of "synthetic biology", which may soon turn our world upside down.
