Quebec filmmaker and science enthusiast Jean Bergeron lived the dream of his life when he dived alongside the discoverer of what has been called the “Atlantis of Israel.”
With some persistence, Bergeron was able to gain the confidence of marine archeologist Ehud Galili, who allowed him to make a documentary about Atlit Yam, a settlement from the late Stone Age now submerged off Israel’s coast, near Haifa.
The result is The Mystery of Atlit Yam: 10,000 Years Under the Sea, which will make its world première – in its original French version – at the Louvre in Paris on June 6.
