Novelist Derek Swannson's exploration of isolation from mainstream society as a remedy to America's increasingly unaffordable suburban lifestyle in a world gone mad with consumerism and grift.
(Editor's Note: For those who've been following along, this is the "ISOLATION" video series repackaged into one feature-length movie, with some minor deletions and additions.This FULL MOVIE version is intended for those who want to watch the entire series in one place. It's roughly thirty minutes longer than the FINAL CUT version, which can be found elsewhere. And if you prefer to read, the transcript of this movie can be found on Medium: https://medium.com/@threegracespress/exit-from-mass-deception-d1328a1642a6)
"What do you do when corporate America and its entire MKULTRA culture seems to be aligned against you? Well, if you’re like me, you opt for isolation—or 'silence, exile, and cunning,' as James Joyce put it. You find out what it’s like to live a simple life, all alone."
Written, narrated, and (for the most part) filmed and recorded by Derek Swannson. His books can be found—ironically enough—at: https://www.amazon.com/Derek-Swannson/e/B009POSBXU
