Evolutionary biologist Toby Kiers takes us along on her epic quest to map the world's fungi networks and understand their behaviour before it's too late.
Beneath our feet lies a mystery. A complex underground network of mycorrhizal fungi keeps our ecosystem alive by exchanging nutrients and carbon with almost all plants on Earth. Remarkably, no one knows exactly how these sophisticated and ancient systems operate, or how they are affected by climate change.
The Underground Astronaut follows evolutionary biologist Toby Kiers, named one of the 2022 TIME100 Next Innovators, on her quest to map the world's fungi networks and understand their behaviour before it's too late. A fragrant and high-stakes journey into the soil. “No fungi, no future.”
The Underground Astronaut is part of Ammodo Docs, a series of short documentaries about original minds in arts and science.
Heydi returns to the old hunting grounds with her nephew to retrace the path and inspect the new hunting trails. She leads Ibaw step by step into her hunting world.
This film is about Heydi Mijung, the only female hunter in the Truku tribe, who follows the ancestral tradition of Gaya, practices the traditional hunting skills of the Truku, and maintains the balance of the entire forest with her hunting methods. The Woman Carrying the Prey expresses women's perseverance and strength by extension – “carrying” is not only about the physical weight but also about the continuation of the hunter's traditional hunting culture.
The relationship between human, ecology and animal interdependence is gradually built up through the daily life of a female hunter in the mountains.
