Based on Robert Macfarlane's bestseller, this hypnotic documentary follows three "astronauts of the underworld" on their journey below the surface of the earth. Beginning in the shallow soil beneath an ancient ash tree, we travel into sacred ancient caves, flooded storm drains and deep underground laboratories designed to unravel the universe's mysteries. Narrated by Sandra Hüller with poetic sensitivity, the film presents a groundbreaking perspective on our relationship with the earth beneath our feet—a realm that most associate only with darkness and fear but that holds wonder and knowledge for those courageous enough to explore. Produced by Darren Aronofsky, Underland offers a rare documentary experience that serves simultaneously as visual splendor, an environmental statement and a philosophical inquiry. This film challenges perceptions and expands understanding of our planet's hidden dimensions, delivering beauty, science and wonder in equal measure, resulting in a profound reevaluation of the ground beneath our feet. Discussion follows with writer Robert Macfarlane Co-sponsored by the Department of Environmental Studies and the Department of Anthropology.
