Scientists and locals race to document Montenegro’s Komarnica canyon before a dam destroys it.

In the north of Montenegro lies one of Europe's last wild canyons, a place of towering cliffs and ancient forests, and crystal-clear waters: Komarnica. Beneath its surface, life thrives in ways science is only beginning to understand. The film follows an international team of researchers and local conservationists to document the canyon’s hidden biodiversity. From new species to fragile cave ecosystems, their mission is urgent: the entire landscape is threatened by a proposed hydropower dam.
A film for everyone who believes that the last wild places on Earth are worth protecting.

The screening is followed by a talk with the directors.
