The film was shot at the site of the Biosphere 2 project, a failed experiment in a man-made ecosystem that took place in the early 1990s in Arizona. URTH is a cinematic meditation on ambitious experiments, constructed environments, and visions of the future. The film considers what an endeavor such as Biosphere 2 might mean today in terms of humankind’s relationship with the natural world.
