30 Jahre Erinnerungen an die Zukunft

A look back at the life of Erich von Däniken. A camera team followed the Swiss author around the globe to the archaeological hotspots of the world. Were the gods really astronauts? When Däniken posed this question in 1968, "Dänikitis" broke out worldwide. His first book "Memories of the Future" made him the most successful German-language non-fiction author of our time. Never before has a camera team come so close to the controversial author. Is Däniken a charlatan? A clever profiteer? Or a serious researcher? The film provides the surprising answer.
