People on the Mesa

Just watched the documentary "Off the Grid: Life on the Mesa" and I have to say that I'm still digesting it. But it just shows a part of the true beauty of a documentary; you may not understand or agree but you can't deny the heartfelt way in which the people it features express their true convictions. It's not about you or your world view anymore, it's about being able to relate to a bare bones human element and just absorb what they have to offer. I'm always amazed by how I start out thinking 'this is insane, this is impractical, dangerous, unhealthy' but in the end get wrapped up in the people's stories and suddenly realize the emotional investment I made when I sat down to watch it.

In short, another truly enlightening and thought provoking feature.
