The "Quiet Zone" is about a small town in West Virginia nestled next to a giant telescope where wifi and any kind of electromagnetic radiation has been banned and is punishable by law. 

 

This blanket of silence attracts all sorts of Outcasts: There is a community that offers, apart form the locals, a home for electrosensitives, doomsday preppers. NeoNazis, a bear rescue centre, hippies and alternative medicine practitioners that live in this wifi free zone without all amenities and conveniences we've gotten used to in the digital world.

​

The documentary, made together with Barbara Politsch, dives into this mini cosmos full of dualities where things are not quite as they seem at first glance.
