In one of the harshest places on Earth, three women from different generations chase a hidden and ephemeral world beneath the Antarctic sea ice. Dr Natalie Robinson leads a world-first expedition to McMurdo Sound, joined by microbiologist Jacqui Stuart on her first trip south. Mentoring them from afar is veteran sea ice physicist Professor Pat Langhorne.
Battling brutal weather and isolation, the team discovers extraordinary tiny creatures within the delicate structures of the ice. Weaving personal stories with rich archival footage and groundbreaking science, this is an intimate and deeply human portrait set against the immense scale of Antarctica, shared with grit, wit, and surprising warmth.
Q&As with Director Vanessa Wells and Protagonists Prof Pat Longhorne, Jacqui Stuart, and Dr Natalie Robinson at The Capitol Cinema (Auckland), The Roxy Cinema (Wellington), and Hoyts EntX Cinema (Christchurch). Vanessa Wells only at Bridgeway Cinema in Auckland
