The World According to Termites

Termites - for somebody exotic crap, for others, the pests that are causing tremendous economic damage. The film attempts to show them differently: as a force that significantly influences the ecosystem of our entire planet, and also as an object of intense scientific research that reveals their fascinating life and extraordinary adaptation.
