The screening is followed by a panel discussion with soil experts. Pesented in collaboration with Hållbarhetsveckan and Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in a changing climate. Free of charge but you will need a ticket.

We are about to take the biggest turn in the history of our dealings with nature and our soil. We have to. Farmers must change, consumers must live more sensibly, industry must change. But how do we tackle that? How do we learn to deal more sensibly with our soil? The film Planet Soil shows what needs to be done on a grand scale by focusing on the world around us and the fascinating world right under our feet. 

The makers of The New Wilderness and Wild Amsterdam go underground. The film Planet Soil makes the unseen seen. Besides the world above ground populated by plants, insects and birds, but mostly by people, there is a second world: an underground community of roots, larvae, worms, fungi, bacteria, amoebas and arthropods.

The film tells the story and development of a group of city dwellers who set out to realize a dream on a small piece of land, just outside the big city. Working in the garden, they catch just a glimpse of this hidden world.
