How Deep Is Your Love (12A)

Plymouth Arts Cinema is showing How Deep is Your Love on Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 November. It's a documentary by Eleanor Mortimer, a UK production from 2025 that runs for 100 minutes and carries a 12A certificate.

The film follows a group of marine biologists exploring the remote Clarion-Clipperton Zone, twelve days from the nearest land. While they're out there, they grapple with a question that sits at the heart of the whole thing: does their very presence risk harming the things they've come to protect? Mortimer describes it as a nature documentary like no other, weaving awe-inspiring footage of the open-sea realm with a looming sense of urgency as mankind's progress threatens these delicate ecosystems.

It's the kind of thing that works best on a big screen, where you can actually take in the scale of the open ocean and the life that lives in it. The Clarion-Clipperton Zone is one of the most remote parts of the planet, so seeing it brought into a cinema in Plymouth is a fair way to spend an afternoon or evening. If you're into nature documentaries, this one adds a layer of human conflict to the scenery, as the scientists on board have to weigh their curiosity against the impact they're making.

There are two screenings to choose from: Wednesday 4 November at 2:30pm, and Thursday 5 November at 6:00pm. Both are at Plymouth Arts Cinema on Tavistock Place, PL4 8AT.
