Dark Biosphere: Betting On A Living Universe

Deep beneath the Earth's crust, a hidden world teems with extraordinary microorganisms that defy the odds, challenging our understanding of life's origins and its potential existence throughout the universe.

Produced by

Javier Bollain Perez and Javier Lafuente

Directed by

Javier Bollain

Project Description

Deep beneath the earth's crust, hundreds of metres or kilometres below the surface, with no light, no air, and very little water, in pores and fissures of hard rock, scientists have found an enormous biodiversity of micro-organisms that thrive in extreme conditions. The Dark Biosphere challenges everything we thought we knew and challenges us to rethink not only the origin and evolution of life on Earth but its possible existence throughout the Universe.
