Celebrating the empowerment of women in the film industry. Read more >
On a small farm in a Norwegian forest, the Paynes live a purposefully isolated life, aiming to be wild and free. Maria and Nik, along with their four children Ulv, Falk, Freja, and Ronja are self-sufficient. They practice home-schooling and strive for a closely-knit family dynamic in harmony with nature. However, when tragedy strikes the family, it upends their idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society.
A New Kind of Wilderness won the Grand Jury Prize in the World Documentary Competition at Sundance Film Festival.
