Documentary

Filmmaker Ondi Timoner embeds herself within a group of idealistic students and charismatic entrepreneurs who are committing themselves to create what they call "the world's greatest sustainable modern town" in a Panamanian jungle. Timoner captures the struggles of the group members as their dreams of a "sacred land" conflicts with the reality that they are in the middle of a jungle and have to make everything they need -- from basic shelter to a functional community -- from scratch.
