Editorial Reviews

"Remarkable and thrilling unique.. .a fascinating, memorable film"
- Cue Magazine

"One of the best, a remarkable feat"
- New York Herald Tribune

"The Sky Above, The Mud Below" is the incredible true story, filmed as it happened, of an expedition back in time to 7,000 years ago-to the Stone Age. In 1959 an international group of explorers set out to cross the most dangerous, uncharted jungles of Dutch New Guinea. In the 7 months it took them to cover 1,000 miles, they came face-toface with man's savage and primitive past. Their cameras captured bizarre native rituals and never-before seen cannibal tribes. Disease and violent death stalked the expedition every step of the way, and their exploration became a harrowing physical test of the depths of human endurance and will to live.

Produced by: Arthur Cohn and Rene LaFuite; Directed by: Pierre-Dominique Gaisseau; Cast: Pierre-Dominique Gaisseau-organizer & leader, Gerard Delloye -assistant leader.
