“An immersive sensory experience, complete with ethereal cinematography and intricate sound design, to take you into worlds unknown.”
— Moveable Feast
“Robert Petit’s thrilling, unnerving documentary plays like a sprawling epic about the scope of human existence.”
— Observer
Oscar-nominee Sandra Hüller narrates this cinematic adaptation of Robert Macfarlane’s bestselling book, UNDERLAND. The documentary voyages into worlds rarely glimpsed by human eyes to explore the world beneath our feet. One not of fear and darkness, but rather of knowledge and wonder that can be found nowhere else.
Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, we travel alongside several ‘astronauts of the underworld’ into ancient sacred caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers and a deep underground laboratory built to solve the mysteries of the Universe. UNDERLAND dives deep into the Earth to present a groundbreaking vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface.
Director: Robert Petit (UK/US 2025) 79 min.
