About “Genesis 2.0”:
The documentary observes the harsh and dangerous life of so-called mammoth hunters on the remote New Siberian Islands. They want to bring the extinct woolly mammoth back to life à la “Jurassic Park”, and resurrect it as a species. The resurrection of the mammoth is just a first track and manifestation of a next great technological revolution. Worldwide, biologists are working on re-inventing life. The goal of synthetic biology is to produce complete artificial biological systems. Man becomes the Creator. The new technology may well turn the world as we know it completely on its head…and all of this has its origin in the unstoppably thawing permafrost at the extreme edge of Siberia.
