Press
"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 marvelous 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

subject: 16 square miles of New Mexico desert thats home to a ragtag group

this review is from: Off the Grid: Life On The Mesa (ON DEMAND)
This is a window into the the most extreme version of 'alternative lifestyles' I have ever seen. I would have never guessed that something like this existed in the states. With a shortage on almost everything essential (including sanity) the people on the Mesa miraculously make it year to year. A great glimpse into true alternative.
