    Readers of a certain age may remember Pauly Shore and a 1996 movie called Bio-Dome, which detailed how Bud and Doyle (played by Stephen Baldwin) came to be locked inside an environmental science project.

    That concept is all a little far-fetched, right?

    Wrong, and the story of Biosphere 2 is now going to be told in a new documentary, titled Spaceship Earth.

    The experiment ran from 1991 to 1993, and it’s fair to say it was not a wild success.

    This from the trailer’s synopsis:

    Spaceship Earth is the true, stranger-than-fiction, adventure of eight visionaries who in 1991 spent two years quarantined inside of a self-engineered replica of Earth’s ecosystem called BIOSPHERE 2. The experiment was a worldwide phenomenon, chronicling daily existence in the face of life threatening ecological disaster and a growing criticism that it was nothing more than a cult.

    The bizarre story is both a cautionary tale and a hopeful lesson of how a small group of dreamers can potentially reimagine a new world.

    If you’re after brutal honesty, some go as far as to say that the eight who took part ended up starving and fighting with one another, whilst the world’s media watched on wide-eyed.

    Here’s that trailer:

    The doccie was released back in May, and seems like a pertinent watch given the current world situation.

    I can only hope your household under lockdown fares a little better.
