A classic adventure story of a 1914 American expedition setting out to find the mythical underwater city of Atlantis. Released early in the ‘experimental era’ of Disney, this was their first film to be based on science fiction rather than fairytale, and was also the first to have an online marketing campaign. We celebrate 25 years since its release with a special London Climate Action Week screening for budding adventurers and those exploring their own ancient history.

Following this screening, film and television critic Kambole Campbell and climate justice advocate Samia Dumbuya will discuss the craft and legacy of the film.
