Our Story
Whether you agree with their politics or not, one thing that can be said about the individuals featured in Libertopia ---- They are motivated. They don't just sit around and complain ---- They take action. When things don't go according to plan, they don't see failure ---- Only temporary setbacks.

In a lot of ways, their journeys were mirrored in this production. This was a first time feature film for the filmmakers. It was produced by just two people. Later there came an editor and a composer, and we made it all on very limited funds. Often times, out there on the road with a trunk full of equipment, we wondered if we were crazy to undertake such an ambitious venture during one of the worst recessions in recent history. But every time we needed inspiration, or felt like quitting, all we had to do was look right back through the camera... How could we give up on such determined individuals? It simply wasn't an option.

Each person in our film is on the journey of their lives, and in watching them, hopefully we're all reminded that life's greatest reards are only ever born of life's greatest challenges. Making this film has been both for us, and we are proud to show it here to you. Thank you for watching, and keep carrying the fire.

I haven't watched it yet, just the trailer. Looks pretty interesting but it's an hour and a half long, so not sure if I'm going to make the time to watch it any time soon. It deserves a (necro)bump though. Someone put a lot of work into it and doesn't look like it got much attention here.

I watched it and I liked it. That is my review, I am not very good at giving movie reviews. My only complaint is that the material is kind of dated (released in 2013 but the interviews were conducted 4 or 5 years earlier).

I'm now watching 101 Reasons: Liberty Lives in New Hampshire. Lots of information packed in it so far, less based on personal stories.
