Until 1996, the Movile caves in Romania were cut off from the rest of the world for over five million years. Two scientists descend deep into the sulphur-saturated atmosphere of this lost world, an ecosystem no human has ever seen. Secret Underworld shows world exclusive film of what they found. At least 33new animal species – eyeless spiders with gigantic antennae, transparent beetles, and colonies of rock-dissolving bacteria among them – lead the explorers to conclude that life on earth may well have started here... The knowledge that these creatures must survive on sulphur makes the possibility of life on other planets now seem infinitely greater. Dramatic, ground-breaking and thrilling television.
