The 2026 Arkhaios Film Official Selection Screening at the FCM:
Drain The Oceans: The First Americans – 44 mins.
Director Chris Thorburn, Producer Crispin Sadler, Mallinson Sadler Productions, (United Kingdom)
At the end of the last Ice Age, the first humans migrated into the Americas. Some believe they traveled overland, but now archaeologists are looking to the coast. And what does a 13,000-year-old skeleton found in the Mexican jungle tell us about these people and their world? By draining a deep, underground cave, we reveal the new science rewriting the epic story of the first humans to live in the New World.
