In the documentary for ZDF Terra X, we delve deep into an ancient mystery from the Stone Age. A grave, almost 9000 years old, apparently containing a woman and a small child – but the circumstances of their death remain unclear at first. This grave was once discovered by the Nazis and misused for other purposes before fading into obscurity. Now, it is once again the focus of research. The woman harbors an extraordinary secret: she may have been a shaman. Our film presents the latest scientific findings and follows a forensic search for clues that gradually pieces together the puzzle surrounding the shaman of Bad Dürrenberg.
In this documentary we use state-of-the-art virtual production techniques: with the Unreal Engine we create a digital world in which we resurrect the shaman. In this way, we bring an ancient mystery to life using the latest technology.
