Production


The inspiration for the film came from Clive Oppenheimer's visit to a South Korean lab that studies and displays meteorites.[1] Enamored with the exotic nature of the stones, and "the cultural significance of meteorites and impact craters to human societies around the world", he spoke with Werner Herzog about creating this documentary.[2]

The production filmed across 12 different locations, in 6 different continents.[3]

In July 2020, Apple acquired the distribution rights to the film.[4] The film premiered at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2020.[5] It was released on Apple TV+ on November 13, 2020.[6]
