Switzerland 2018
On the remote New Siberian Islands in the Arctic Ocean, hunters search for tusks of extinct mammoths. There is a kind of gold rush fever in the air, because the prices for this white gold have never been so high. One day, they discover a surprisingly well-preserved mammoth carcass with liquid blood and muscle tissue.
Such finds are magnets for high-tech Russian and South Korean clone researchers in search of mammoth cells with the greatest possible degree of intact DNA. The goal of synthetic biology is to produce complete artificial biological systems.
Resurrecting the woolly mammoth is a first manifestation of this next great technological revolution – genetics. An exercise. A multi-million dollar game. It may well turn our world as we know it upside down.

Often called ‘Dragons’, women in the finance sector still represent a small minority, especially in top positions where power and big money are concentrated. Filmed in New York, London and Paris, this documentary is a series of intimate portraits of various senior women in the finance sector. Filmed at work, at home and during their leisure time, they’ll tell us what made them succeed in the business and share with us the mechanisms they’ve had to implement to survive in one of the most competitive and male-dominated sectors in the world.
