Fossil Hunter

In the desolate Iraqi desert, a lone shepherd stumbles across a whale fossil. Initial analysis indicates that it could be a new species-a discovery that could shed light on the evolution debate. Paleontologist Dr. Katie James is asked to lead an expedition to recover the rest of the fossil before her archrival, Nick Murad, can find it first. But while she's there, Katie also uncovers the unexpected-a human fossil so controversial she's forced to collaborate with Nick to analyze the find before it can be destroyed by a fundamentalist faction of the Iraqi government. Their initial results fly in the face of current scientific theory, and it seems the whole world turns against them, including those they thought they could trust most. Then the fossil disappears, sending Nick and Katie on a chase that could cost them their reputations, their careers-even their lives. Fossil Hunter is part of the Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed campaign. Look for the feature-length documentary-hosted by Ben Stein and produced by Premise Media Corporation-available now on DVD.
