This Way of Life

Thomas Burstyn Nieuw-Zeeland 2009 84 min.

In an intimate portrait, we meet Peter, Colleen and their 6 kids. They have made the conscious decision to live together in the wild, far from the hectic and stressful society. The children live outside and ride half-wild horses while their father hunts for food. Despite some serious setbacks – family conflict, theft and a forced move – they forgive, forget and still refuse to compromise. Rarely has an alternative lifestyle been portrayed so breathtakingly.
