| Summary |
The Easter Island civilisation which came and went has become an example of "ecocide" - its demise a parable for our own globally warmed era. But Dr Jago Cooper believes this is a disastrous mis-reading of what happened on Easter Island. He believes new archaeological evidence shows the civilisation which flourished here was ingenious, advanced, and expertly attuned to its difficult environment. He believes the demise of Easter Island's civilisation is more complicated than the popular narrative of ecological collapse suggests. In this documentary, Dr Cooper presents a new history of one of the world's most enigmatic, and controversial civilisations, from birth to death. (From the UK) (Documentary) CC **Premiere** |
