De dag dat het zonlicht niet meer scheen
Maria Stuut, Frederik Stuut Belgium 2025 27 min.

Mythical as a dragon, but also real; people have become attached to an image of what might have been a dinosaur. 'You don't love me, you love the idea of me,' thinks the t-rex. A team of researchers set out to find definitive evidence of what caused the end of the dinosaur era. One fine line in the rock bed contains knowledge down to the minute, of that fatal day, 66 million years ago. This is not an impossible love story, this is a real true crime set in deep time.
