This combination of authentic original footage and modern interview makes fascinating watching. There are so many surprising aspects to this story. How is it that these people remained undiscovered for so long. Were there no aircraft flights over the area? Was there no trade at all? After seeing this also view Black Harvest for more of this absorbing story.
