Production
[edit | edit source]The Barkfors read an article about Florida Justice Transitions in a Danish newspaper which provoked their interest in the park, which they got the impression was "a society of its own". They visited the park for the first time in 2010 and found it to be very different from their expectations.[3] The film took four years to make.[4]
