Empire Me

The feature documentary road movie tells about maverick people worldwide, trying to realise their visions of a different world and society. Filmmaker Paul Poet explores micronations, self declared kingdoms, underground temples and swimming cities and portrays their struggles and motivations. Dropping out in the twenty-first-century means hard work and personal sacrifice on a tightrope between creative independence and heroic failure.
