Off the Grid - Life on the Mesa (2007)

Off the Grid: Life on the Mesa [2007]

===========================================================================
This is a DivX compatible (XviD) version of Life on the Messa
===========================================================================

This is one GREAT documentary. I only saw it last week and to be honest, was blown away. Very insightful, thought provoking and personal. We are shown a completely different way of living, that is totally at odds with "Western Society", and managing this in the heartland of the United States of America.

I managed to track down an XviD copy, and thought others may appreciate this, though I do have a link further down for a H.264 copy.

Twenty-Five miles from town, a million miles from mainstream society, a loose-knit community of radicals live in the desert, struggling to survive with little food, less water and no electricity, as they cling to their unique vision of the American dream.

"An insightful study of an alternative American lifestyle"
The Stulbergs, whose film's stunning look is a combination of good cinematography and a majestic New Mexican landscape, achieved marvellous access to what has to be a very closed and insular community, given where and how the inhabitants choose to live. The various characters come to vivid life.
- John Anderson, Variety -

This docs co-directors, brother and sister, have wondered upon a terrific subject: 16 square miles of New Mexico desert that's home to a ragtag group of anarchists who wouldn't be out of place in Mad Max.
