Mighty Indeed - Life on the Ice
Mighty Indeed
Set in one of the harshest corners of Earth, a new documentary follows three women from different generations as they explore a hidden world underneath the Antarctic sea ice.
Dr Natalie Robinson leads a world-first expedition to McMurdo Sound, joined by a microbiologist and mentored from afar by a veteran sea ice physicist.
Battling brutal weather and isolation,
Mighty Indeed
shows the moments the team discover extraordinary tiny creatures within the delicate structures of the ice.
Weaving personal stories with rich archival footage and groundbreaking science, and set against the immense scale of Antarctica, this film tells of the love these women have for the place.
They even sing songs about Phytoplankton!
Mighty Indeed is showing in the Doc Edge Film Festival
and has this week won Best Director and Best Film. Director Vanessa Wells and expedition leader Dr Natalie Robinson speak to Mihi.

Southern Ocean getting warmer and saltier, will 'change the way the planet works'
Iceberg and large fragments of drifting ice floating in front of the Antarctic Peninsula. Photo: AFP / Claudius Thiriet Warmer, saltier water from deep in the Southern Ocean has started rising to the surface, bringing up more carbon dioxide, and causing Antarctic sea ice to melt. Earth Sciences New Zealand, formerly the [National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research principal scientist of marine physics Dr Craig Stevens told Morning Report that the data - from a satellite, and a robot beneath the surface - had only been released a couple of days ago, and that "lots of the bigger picture stuff" still had to be analysed. If it was confirmed that the warmer, saltier water had made it harder for more sea ice to form, "that's a very big story, and it will sort of confirm the trend that we're seeing around Antarctica with significant reductions in sea ice," he said. It is in contrast with earlier data that showed the Southern Ocean was actually getting progressively less salty since the 1980s. But Stevens said that was before a satellite had been used. "For decades our measurements were just sort of little pinpoints from a particular vessel [that] would go here or there, and we would get a single sample. "So that was showing a freshening through to about a decade ago - near the seabed or the seafloor - and since around 2015 that has reversed. "What this new analyses of satellite data of salinity is confirming that happening at the surface." Stevens added that being able to detect salinity - the salt in the water - from satellite was the most interesting thing about the research. It will mean that we will be able to gather better data on salinity over time, and how that might be impacting sea ice. "Ultimately it is about the conditions that allow that sea ice to form, and if those conditions are changing and making it harder, that will flow through into sort of changed ecosystems. "So it'll change sort of the biology around Antarctica, but it'll also change weather patterns, and it'll change heat content in the ocean, so it'll change the way the planet works."

Chinese documentaries expand presence at 2025 Doc Edge
Clockwise from top left: Ai Weiwei's Turandot; Made in Ethiopia; The Dating Game; Chinatown Cha-Cha Photo: Supplied Doc Edge co-founder Alex Lee says the Chinese titles in the line-up shine a light on growing diversity in the world as the festival celebrates its 20th anniversary. Lee, who is also the nonprofit festival's co-director, says he's proud his team has been able to create something that's "so special". "I'm also proud of the fact that I'm a migrant that has managed to do something special for the future and for the history of New Zealand," said Lee, who is Malaysian Chinese. Featuring documentaries from across the world covering a wide range of topics on politics, culture, history, art, the environment and more, the 2025 festival includes seven films related to China. Ai Weiwei's Turandot leads a strong line-up that also includes The Dating Game, Made in Ethiopia, Chinatown Cha-Cha, Correct Me if I'm Wrong, Little Potato and Two Travelling Aunties , with the latter three being short films. Alex Lee, co-founder and co-director of the Doc Edge Festival Photo: Supplied Lee acknowledges that some people might think documentaries are boring or irrelevant, but he believes they're important as a "slice of our life". The Dating Game , for example, depicts how Chinese men have needed to learn how to be more attractive as there are so many more men in China than women, he says. Meanwhile, Ai Weiwei's Turandot reminds people that conversation and dialogue are important even if two opposing sides disagree with each other, Lee says. "There's nothing worse than ... hearing your own voice," Lee says. "The only way that we can become a better world is if we are all able to listen to each other and we don't agree on the differences, but we learn to live with it." Lee says there has been an increase in the number of films submitted from China over the years. "There is a growth in the Chinese documentary sector, which includes not just the industry from PRC [People's Republic of China] but also from the Chinese diaspora - whether [it's] just filmmakers or content." Lee says the growth has been driven by a rise in industry upskilling and support from Chinese authorities and academic institutions. "This is often stimulated by the demand and interest about Chinese culture and issues," he says. "Additionally, with more cross-border travel, people have travelled to and worked with China," he says. "Therefore, there is also more awareness and sophistication with audience interest." Clockwise from top left: Correct Me if I'm Wrong; Little Potato; Two Travelling Aunties Photo: Supplied Lee says the festival organisers are keen to "encourage diversity in voices and content". With more people turning to social media, it is important to bring long-form content that can explore issues more deeply rather than offer snapshots that do not provide the detail and clarity required, Lee says. "Additionally, watching documentaries allows you to understand another person's point of view," he says. "It will help you to develop greater empathy for [others] and it may reshape the way you see them. "At the very least, we want the opportunity for audiences to say they have watched and listened to others. "They may not agree but they can agree to disagree - with empathy and kindness and not within an echo chamber."
