    Storyline

    Edit
    The true, stranger-than-fiction, adventure of eight visionaries who in 1991 spent two years quarantined inside of a self-engineered replica of Earth's ecosystem called Biosphere 2. The experiment was a worldwide phenomenon, chronicling daily existence in the face of life threatening ecological disaster and a growing criticism that it was nothing more than a cult. The bizarre story is both a cautionary tale and a hopeful lesson of how a small group of dreamers can potentially re-imagine a new world.

    People, Friends, Imagination...
    Take a group of people, friends, a bit of imagination and an open mind, a desire to make a difference and a vision for our future - take another group of people interested in money, greed, power - and...

    A fascinating documentary that shows what a small group of well intentioned pioneers can achieve in the cause of humanity and ecology, with passion and belief, with teamwork and adventure - it's well worth a visit to Biosphere 2, if for no other reason than that.
