An original review of key moments in the history of mankind, a meet and greet with James Dean, Adolf Hitler and Jack the Ripper. Whether it concerns Dodos or Yetis, the queries directed to the Hulton Archive of Getty Images, containing 60 million pictures, are as peculiar as its visitors. In a wacky and playful manner and with the help of animated collages, Laurie Hill guides us through this documentary.
