A documentary about dinosaurs and the people who love them. The film follows a fossil-obsessed teenager and his filmmaker father embarking on a journey around the world, interviewing renowned palaeontologists and dinosaur fanatics of all walks of life. Together they track down the artists behind Jurassic Park, dig up some real dinosaur bones, and attempt to discover why everybody loves dinosaurs!
