This full-length documentary-completed in June '02-has been more than four years in the making. Now you can actually see how some communities look "up close" while you listen to community members tell their stories in their own words. This first disc features an overview of 2,500 years of shared living, then highlights seven communities and offers insights about what works and what doesn't.

The sketchy sound quality, does not diminish this film which is one of the most informative movies that I have picked up on the topic of Intentional Communities. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Utopia and understanding our own culture better.
