Spaceship Earth
“3.5 STARS! What could be more relevant to the coronavirus lockdown than a chronicle of the 20th century’s most famous self-quarantine? Anyone who fears going stir crazy at a time when going to the store is more akin to scrubbing in for surgery than running a light errand will relate when tensions rise and systems begin to break down.
” – Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post
“Drawing on a wealth of archival materials as well as interviews with all surviving participants, SPACESHIP EARTH is an involving, oddly poignant tale.
” – Dennis Harvey, Variety
SPACESHIP EARTH is 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 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 reimagine a new world.
