"Age of Humans" premieres at Cannes 2024

The documentary on the Anthropocene will be screened at the Cannes 2024 Festival on Thursday 16 May 2024.

The film features prominent figures in science and outreach, including Donald Johanson, Sara Blaffer Hrdy, Curtis Marean, Frans De Wall, David B. Wake, E. O. Wilson, Carles Castell, Drew Caputo, Lawrence Krauss and Paula J. Ehrlich.

Throughout the film they explore the evolution of humanity, from our humble beginnings walking the plains of Africa to becoming a dominant species through cooperation. Our relatively rapid rise to dominance has come at a high cost. Have we ushered in a new era, or are we just another species on the planet?

Syncopa Films took part of the executive production.
