This film was shot in a remote part of a beautiful park in Southern British Columbia, Canada. That's the good part.
The premiss of the film is that at some point Neanderthals and Cro- magnons must have encountered each other and interbred. There is now DNA evidence that this happened approx 100,000 years ago, likely in several places, perhaps including Southern Europe and Southern Turkey.
Unfortunately the tale that the film tells is about a young woman (the Cro-Magnon) who plays a headstrong righteous person seeking emancipation at the hands of tyrants and an oppressive culture. The development is painfully slow, people communicate through the kind of hand signals and repeated utterances, as you might see in Mexico while watching stupid tourists. Darryl Hanna is easy to look at but boring otherwise. Her repertoire consists of cliché movements and faces.
In short, it's a combination of bad entertainment and an awful documentary.
