Herzog's Cave Documentary is Unforgettable


...directed by Werner Herzog is an absolutely must-see documentary filmed in 3-D about a 32,000 year old cave recently discovered (1994) in southern France.  The film is currently showing in just 3 cities in the U.S.  You guessed it, NYC, LA, and good ole Chicago.  You will never see anything like this again in your life, guaranteed.  Herzog is the only one who could ever have filmed this, as you will see.  Make sure the theater is offering it in 3-D, no matter what the cost or trouble to get there - it will be well worth it.  

I'd love to hear your response...
