Using original, unseen stories and interviews, Cinema Through the Eye of Magnum retraces this relationship over 70 years.

- For 2,000 years, the Maya built kingdoms and developed a civilization of incomparable wealth. Then they mysteriously disappeared. Buried deep in the primeval forest in the far north of Guatemala, Naachtun, discovered in 1922, had not been excavated since. Today, an international, multidisciplinary team of scientists, led by CNRS researchers Philippe Nondédéo and Dominique Michelet, is attempting to unlock the secret of its longevity, which surpassed that of other Mayan kingdoms.
