WHY DINOSAURS? AN AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY ABOUT DINOSAURS AND THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEM

https://www.whydinosaurs.com

The complete film is available free at the link. For those with some knowledge of dinosaur paleontology already, the first several minutes will seem kind of repetitious, but it's a good watch, overall. Things really pick up in the second half, with visits to actual excavation sites, prep labs, and plenty of real (professional and amateur) paleontologists. Jack Horner puts in an early appearance, and Phil Currie is featured a lot. Did not see Paul Soreno or David Weishampel involved at all -- not sure what that means.

There are so many thousands of species of dinosaurs known now, you're bound to see a few you've never seen before, including some that were discovered quite recently.
