LIFE 2000 METERS UNDER THE SEA, FRANCE, 54 MIN., 2015

Directed: Jean Yves Collet
Deep down at the bottom of the ocean lies the mysterious world of the abyss. Here, in the world’s greatest desert, plant and animal life are scarce. And yet, in the midst of boiling, toxic geysers, an environment thought hostile to all life forms, a rich ecosystem flourishes. This miracle is possible thanks to bacteria, micro-organisms crucial to all living beings. How can bacteria survive in such extreme conditions? What lessons can we learn from this incredible profusion of life?
