The Anarchists - HBO - Ancap Libertarian Freedom Movement Documentary Series Discussion

[Trevor Kuntz]

I highly recommend this limited series. I know a lot of people here probably already have opinions about Anarchapulco (or more likely, its founder, Jeff Berwick) already, but it is a really unique documentary and a collection of very interesting human stories. In my opinion, Berwick and Anarchapulco are just the backdrop/background, but this show is really about everyone else who was involved in the community.

The crew that produced this attended every single event for six years and the fact that they were there from the beginning gives a very different perspective and pacing than other documentaries where the story is mostly after-the-fact.

If you have HBO, watch it, and I'd really like to hear your thoughts on if it changed your perspective(s) about life in any way.

While I was in mexico this was a hot discussion, and most of the legit people who wanted to leave their countries for Mexio were pretty pissed off at the direction that thing was heading and portrayed. I personally don't know anything about it, but it sounds like it could be a interesting watch

Yeah, you should definitely watch it and I'm sure you'd have your own take since you actually live in Mexico part time.

I was aware of the community from news articles at the time when one of the community members was murdered (not really a spoiler), but my understanding of what had happened was completely wrong. There are three deaths over the course of the series involving three very different people and three very different causes. Each one tests what it means to be free or live freely in its own way.

At the end, my opinions of the conference did not change, but there were quite a few people in the show who I'd love to have lunch with and get to know if I had the chance
