UK cinemas to screen 'How Deep Is Your Love' documentary on Pacific deep-sea mining

A new documentary titled 'How Deep Is Your Love' opens in UK cinemas on 2 October, following a Natural History Museum research team to the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific. The film uses an underwater robot named Isis to explore the abyssal plain, highlighting the race to identify new species before industrial mining potentially destroys fragile ecosystems. Director Eleanor Mortimer aims to foster empathy for deep-sea life rather than adopting a traditional activist or nature-documentary style.

Age bias in UK cinema: Chrises and talking animals outshine women over 60

A UK anti-ageism campaign analyzed the 100 highest‑grossing UK films from 2023–2025 and found that only five featured a female lead over 60, while six had a lead named Chris (some of them Chris Pratt), and talking animals led four times more often than older women.
