About

In 1974, Chilean-French director Alejandro Jodorowsky embarked on the quixotic project of adapting Frank Herbert's influential novel Dune (1969) for the big screen. After investing two years, and millions of dollars, the gigantic project ended in failure; but the artists Jodorowsky brought together to carry it out continued to work together, and ended up laying the foundations for modern science fiction cinema.

What could have been the most visually revolutionary sci-fi epic ever made vanished before a single frame was shot. This documentary breathes life into those lost dreams through the psychedelic sketches and feverish visions of the legendary artists who nearly changed cinema forever.
