The Mummy Who Came in from the Cold

In Yakoutia, a forgotten province of Siberia, an anthropologist Eric Crubezy has unearthed a strange tomb containing the body of a woman with her eyes covered and clothed in a garment of pearls. Who was she? Why were her sleeves sewn closed at the ends? Princess or shaman? Set up like a detective film, this film documents the scientific investigation into this mysterious woman's identity.

Directed by Marc Jampolsky, The Mummy Who Came in from the Cold leans on a strong ensemble — Allan Wenger — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2007.
