The Ground Where We Stand

Overview

In the interior of the island of Brač, a group of women lives in an unusual off grid community. They do not believe in private property or hierarchy, they manage the community by direct democracy, share the land, they grow and forge plants trying to be autonomous as much as they can. They are plagued by drought, lack of water and resources, as well as climatic changes. Each of the members of the community has escaped from a past life and together they are trying to build their own small self-sustaining oasis. But when the question of registering ownership in the land register is raised, the very survival of the community comes into question.
