Standing With Stones: A Journey Through Megalithic Britain
There are about 1,000 stone circles in the British Isles. If you include other megalithic monuments such as stone rows, long barrows, cairns, cists, standing stones and others, the number runs to tens of thousands. Yet most people can only name one: Stonehenge.
This film is a unique travelogue in which presenter Rupert Soskin and director Michael Bott discover the wealth that is Megalithic Britain. They visit over 100 of the magnificent Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments scattered throughout these islands.
More than two years in the making, this broadcast-standard documentary, written and presented by explorer and naturalist Soskin, takes you from the tip of Cornwall to the Scottish Isles on an unforgettable journey through the landscape of our ancient past.
On a scale never attempted before, two and a quarter hours of stunning photography reveals a landscape filled with enigma, mystery and more than a few surprises.
NOTE: This is more a travelogue than a scientific documentary but the images
are superb. Don't expect much on Stonehenge; the Makers want you to see all
the rest you've been missing all these years. Some comments are speculative
but they admit to that. Mostly, this is gorgeous eye-candy of Neolithic
Brtain as you've never seen before. - andrew
