The Kingdom: How Fungi Made Our World

What influence do mushrooms have on life on Earth? Annamária Tálas’ documentary film talks about fascinating scientific research that captures the uniqueness and indispensability of mushrooms for human life. The film proves the existence of a mushroom kingdom since its first presence a billion years ago up till today. This visually and factually unique Australian-Canadian documentary film tells the story of one of the building blocks of the evolution of our world - mushrooms. This is the story of a self-sufficient and intelligent kingdom which caused a biological big bang on our planet 500 million years ago. They are part of our skin, the food we eat, as well as the air we breathe. Mushrooms are basically an invisible imperium that created our world. (Academia Film Olomouc)
