Anna Kiss’s documentary brings Cahokia out of obscurity into the light.  It demonstrates Cahokia’s special place in U.S. history and shows a fascinating piece of pre-Columbian culture.  It proposes an original look at the cultural achievements of North America’s pre-Columbian populations, a history quite dynamic, progressive and unique in its expression.

This tells the story of Cahokia’s ascent to power, but more importantly, it documents a human experience.  It looks inside minds and souls of a people who built the first and only ancient civilization north of the Rio Grande. In Search of the Cahokian Gods and Heroes: Mysteries of Mound 34 is produced for the national television audience.   This story of Cahokia is based on professional archaeological records, interviews with the Cahokia researchers, and consultations with other scientists, including Native American scholars.  The documentary is scheduled for post-production.
