This is a look at the biologists who view plant as more than just passive things that provide oxygen, food and beauty and see them as an interconnected with the rest of nature and each other.
Filled with some truly amazing time lapse and micro photography UNDERSTORY is a film that will make you go wow repeatedly
Picking up where the once legendary book and documentary The Secret Life of Plants (now known as the basis for a killer Stevie Wonder Album) the film shows that there is much more than plants than we think. Far from things that just sit there we watch as they move around on their roots and how they interact with each other. As the film points out the notion that plants will just be out for themselves is wrong and there is evidence of them interacting with each other for the good of everyone. To say it’s an eye-opening trip is an understatement.
While I came out of the film singing the praises of the cinematography, I found that the more I thought about the film the more I was haunted by the behavior of the plants themselves. I know that I need to see this film again.
Definitely worth seeing, especially if you can see it on a big screen
