Season 1 • Episode 6
LatestAs their dream of an anarchist paradise crumbles, the Anarchapulco community begins to question the viability of their principles.
Unfolding over six years, what begins as an impulsive one-off gathering turns into an ever-growing annual event attracting sponsorship from crypto-currency companies and featuring capitalist statist speakers such as Ron Paul and BitCoin investor Roger Ver. And when rule-avoidant "freedom" activists come together in one of the most dangerous cities in the world, incoherent ideology and cognitive dissonance rears its ugly head.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Roger Ver, featured Bitcoin evangelist, was later arrested in Spain on tax evasion charges — poetic, really.
Schramke filmed intermittently for six years without a distribution deal, making this a rare documentary shaped by real-time events rather than retrospective narrative.
