  8. SEASON 2 TRAILER

    Trailer: Season 2

    Get ready for Season 2 of Under Our Feet! Perhaps the way we are most intimately connected to the Earth system is through the water we drink. Turning on the tap is something many of us can take for granted, but groundwater's interaction with the environment has the potential to expose us to things we don't want to drink. This season we go deep into the story of PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals", exploring how the water that comes out of our faucets connects us to the rocks beneath our feet, and how it's much more than just H2O. Music for this episode from the Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue)
