Spaceship Earth will be available as a 72hr VOD rental for $3.99 from May 8th-22nd
Matt Wolf, 2020, 113min.
Spaceship Earth is the true, stranger-than-fiction, adventure of eight visionaries who in 1991 spent two years quarantined inside of a self-engineered replica of Earth’s ecosystem called BIOSPHERE 2. The experiment was a worldwide phenomenon, chronicling daily existence in the face of life threatening ecological disaster and a growing criticism that it was nothing more than a cult. The bizarre story is both a cautionary tale and a hopeful lesson of how a small group of dreamers can potentially reimagine a new world.

“An involving, oddly poignant tale that should have broad appeal to those on the lookout for distinctive documentary features.”- Variety
“A testament to the group of outsiders who did try to grab the world's attention about climate change through theatrics and to do something substantial about it.”- The Wrap
