LOOKING FOR COPRODUCTION / Crossing the Line revives the lost story of Alfred Russel Wallace (the true co-discoverer of evolution) through the lens of filmmaker Jordi Escandell. He retraces Wallace’s voyage across jungles and seas to rediscover the invisible frontier that animals never cross: the Wallace Line, and the dazzling biodiversity that inspired one of science’s greatest ideas.
The Wallace Line marks a biogeographical boundary that divides the Malay Archipelago into two completely distinct worlds: Asia and Oceania. The fauna, and to a lesser extent the flora, differ on either side, despite their geographical proximity and relatively similar climates, reflecting separate evolutionary histories.
