Whoa, what an documentary this was! The story behind this is so batshit you have to see it to believe it. I can’t believe I didn’t hear about this story till now. Which is why I’m telling the younger generation to seek this one out. Especially if you want to witness something that’s practically like a “cult” but in the end was just scientist trying to live in a biosphere.
What could have possibly went through the minds of these people to try this out? Some answers are best left unanswered in this review as you watch this documentary your jaw will drop multiple times to the point you have to keep picking it up.
This should be one of the Oscar Nominees for Best Documentaries this year. An open letter to NEON you should start your campaign for this now! It’s too surreal to miss!
Synopsis:
In 1991 eight visionaries embark on a two-year experiment to quarantine themselves inside Biosphere 2 — a self-engineered replica of Earth’s ecosystem.
