The Real Lost World - A Journey Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Duration 1h, 27m

This documentary special feature takes viewers on an epic South American adventure to find the actual place that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Lost World, the first novel about people and dinosaurs, the original Jurassic Park. Following a team of modern adventurers and scientists to the mist-shrouded plateau of Roraima, Venezuela, we encounter exotic animals, Indigenous peoples, and an extreme habitat on the route across the Gran Sabana. Once up the 9000 ft. mountain, the team explores a cave system that contain new undiscovered forms of life. So fascinating is this cave discovery that NASA is funding further research inside the cave system.
