Overview

Die alte neue Welt (The Old New World) (1977) is an East German documentary directed by Annelie and Andrew Thorndike.

Through a blend of archival footage, original graphics, and animation, it contextualizes the progress of human civilization within the broader timeline of Earth's history.
