The Dawn of Art

This is a short film, produced by google, highlighting the amazing 36000 year old drawings in the Chauvet Cave, France. Daisley Ridley is the narrator in English: you light a wooden torch and explore the cave, looking at paintings of horses, mammoths, and more exotic animals like lions and rhinos. This is a digital recreation rather than actual footage, but I really thought it worked beautifully: the closing narration, highlighting how the people that made this art have a direct link to us, many thousands of years later, honestly made me feel quite emotional.
