An independent documentary series exploring land-based intentional communities in Canada.
This first season follows several land-based communities who have chosen to live collectively.
Across community circles, agricultural systems, governance meetings, and everyday routines, the series traces how collective life is organized and sustained.
Each place reflects a distinct interpretation of shared living, shaped by geography, values, and lived experience.
