EMPIRE ME
Handmade utopias - a filmic search for the worldwide phenomenon of the micronation movement.
Do-it-yourself states that have distanced themselves from the economic and political mainstreaming of globalization.
A road movie covering land, water and the wildest realms of the imagination.
Simultaneously creative documentary and pulsating cultural portrait, the film traces a new "unplugged" generation - their motives, their anxieties and their dreams.
A film that shows how this generation realizes its escapist fantasies in new economic and political forms and how they collide with oppressive everyday realities.
