Dark Biosphere

Life, the ability to reproduce, metabolize, grow, and adapt, thrives across our world, but might it exist elsewhere in our solar system, or on exoplanets orbiting other stars? Lifeforms inhabit some incredibly inhospitable environments on Earth. Dark Biosphere explores the hidden realm of extremophiles, organisms that thrive in hellish environments, and delves into how their existence informs our search for life beyond Earth. Could such organisms spread from world to world by a process known as panspermia? Discover the possibilities with narrator Viggo Mortensen.

Narrated by Viggo Mortensen, directed by Javier Bollain, and produced by Render Area.
