Mary Anning and the Dinosaur Hunters (2024)
Directed by Sharon Sheehan
“Mary Anning, fossiler of the 1800's Jurassic Coast strives for equality and recognition.”
Drama · 2h 33m
The film reveals the life, plight and loves of the eminent Mary Anning, an 1800's fossil hunter - navigating her career and research in a male dominated society at a time when women's research was largely unrecognised or plagiarised by men. Predominantly unknown despite her spectacular finds, including Icthyiousauri, a Pterodactyl and Plesiosaurus, and notwithstanding the fact that Darwins' 'Origin of Species' was largely influenced by her work. She is at last becoming the most celebrated paleontologist of all time.
