A magnificent epic of danger, desire, triumph and tragedy, Shame of Man is nothing less than the story of humanity itself. It is the story of two lovers reborn throughout history - Hugh, a dreamer and musician, and his beloved Ann, a beautiful dancer - as they struggle to preserve their family and their way of life during some of the most turbulent periods of our savage past - and our troubled future. Through their eyes we experience humanity's greatest achievements, and witness it's greatest shame, the relentless exploitation of nature that now threatens our very survival.
