Doc Days of Summer: Presenting encores of the summer's best documentaries.
Darwin meets Hitchcock in this true-crime tale of
paradise found and lost. The Galapagos Affair: Satan
Came To Eden is a fascinating portrait of a 1930s
murder mystery as strange and alluring as the famous
archipelago itself. Fleeing conventional society, a Berlin
doctor and his mistress start a new life on uninhabited
Floreana Island. But after the international press
sensationalizes the exploits of the Galapagos' "Adam
and Eve," others flock there—including a self-styled Swiss
Family Robinson and a gun-toting Viennese Baroness
and her two lovers. Filmmakers Dayna Goldfine and Dan
Geller bring this extraordinary story to life, interweaving
newly discovered film clips of the original settlers with
testimonies of modern day islanders, and stunning
footage of the Floreana landscape. Macabre yet inspiring,
The Galapagos Affair is a gripping parable of Robinson
Crusoe adventure and utopian dreams gone awry.
