What makes a country a country? What makes a state a state? And what's to stop you from starting your own? How To Start Your Own Country visits six micronations –unrecognized self-declared sovereign entities that you will not find on a political map.
A documentary I produced and directed. World Premiere at Toronto International FIlm Festival 2010
Available for rental here.
