We know so little of the world beneath our feet. To most it is a place only of fear and darkness, though to a brave few it is one of knowledge and wonder to be found nowhere else. Based on the bestselling book by Robert Macfarlane, from production companies Sandbox Films, Protozoa Pictures, Planet Octopus Studios and Spring Films, UNDERLAND is a cinematic documentary that voyages into worlds rarely glimpsed by human eyes. 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. Narrated by Oscar-nominated Sandra Hüller, and with a uniquely poetic approach, UNDERLAND is a deep dive into the Earth that ultimately presents a groundbreaking vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface.

Jordan Raup The Film Stage One wonders what an adaptation of Macfarlane’s book might look like if [the director] let the images speak more for themselves. Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Sara Clements Next Best Picture "Underland" feels like a rare kind of documentary: immersive, philosophical, visually breathtaking, and existential. It’s an invitation not just to explore but to remember that the ground we walk on is alive, storied, and sacred. Rated: 9/10 Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
