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.
“Robert Petit’s thrilling, unnerving documentary plays like a sprawling epic about the scope of human existence.” – The Observer
“Underland isn’t merely notable for its ability to capture abject darkness… but for its stellar soundscape that whirrs, drones, hums and echoes, almost replicating the sensitivity one’s ears achieve when the light suddenly vanishes.” – Filmmaker Magazine
“Underland serves to draw the viewer completely into the compelling, unnerving, alluring void.” – Screen
“An immersive sensory experience, complete with ethereal cinematography and intricate sound design, to take you into worlds unknown.” – Moveable Fest
“A sensorial, philosophical experience to be had, preferably in a darkened theater.” – ScreenAnarchy
