Empire Me

Filmplakat von Empire Me mit einer aufgebrochenen Weltkugel, aus der ein Schild mit dem Titel »Empire Me« hervorgeht, darüber der Text »Wenn dir deine Welt nicht passt, bau dir deine eigene«, darunter der Filmtitel und weitere Informationen.

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.
