Building Beartaria Part One: Foundations

The ambitious idea of Beartaria grew from the mind of Owen Benjamin - former Hollywood stand-up comedian/actor turned homesteader and internet livestreamer who wants you to have children. Owen has been banned from most of the mainstream platforms and services for being unafraid to voice his opinions on a wide range of topics, but the politically correct censors couldn't stop him from building a community. The Bears seek to bypass the degeneracy of modern society and answer the question of "now what?". It is about growing and self-sustainability - no matter the scale. This documentary focuses on how a crowd-funded project starts taking shape: the building of cabins on undeveloped land in Northern Idaho. It highlights people who are united in their goal of creating a place where they can get together and have fun.

Directed by Owen Benjamin, Building Beartaria Part One: Foundations leans on a strong ensemble — Owen Benjamin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2021.
