PLANET SOIL, 83min., Netherlands, Documentary
Directed by Mark Verkerk
Planet Soil makes the unseen seen. The film inspires and amazes and gives insight into the world beneath our feet. Besides the world above ground populated by plants, insects and birds, but especially by humans, there is a second world: an underground community of roots, larvae, worms, fungi, bacteria, amoebas and arthropods. The existence of this world will not surprise anyone, but the fact that all the life in that microcosm is busily communicating with each other is nothing short of astonishing.

Get to know the filmmaker:
We have been making film about nature for the past 13 years. Films like The New Wilderness and Wild Amsterdam have been internationally successful. Our mission is to inspire people about nature. Making the unseen seen. Not in a critical way and not judging but showing the beauty and importance of our relation with nature. We people are nature. The films are a call to action but people have to discover themselves how they can make a difference and change behavior.
