Mary Anning - preeminent pioneering 19th-century Jurassic fossil hunter strives for recognition and equality in a patriarchal society. To this day she remains widely unknown despite highly influencing Darwin's theory of evolution.

The film reveals the life, plight and loves of the eminent Mary Anning, an 1800's fossil hunter - navigating her career and research in a male dominated society at a time when women's research was largely unrecognised or plagiarised by men. Predominantly unknown despite her spectacular finds, including Icthyiousauri, a Pterodactyl and Plesiosaurus, and notwithstanding the fact that Darwins' 'Origin of Species' was largely influenced by her work. She is at last becoming the most celebrated paleontologist of all time.—Sharon Sheehan & Harriet Owles
