Three miles north of Molkom, hidden deep in the lakeside forests of Sweden, lies Angsbacka, a 21st Century playground for adults. Once a year, their gates open to a thousand international participants, placed in 'Sharing Groups' at random. A Swedish celebrity, a Californian hippy, a Finnish grandmother and a bemused back-packing Australian rugby coach are amongst the sharing group. Firewalking, Shamanism, Tantric Sex and a myriad of other esoteric experiences guide our unlikely heroes towards enlightenment, love, loathing and themselves. Will they ever be the same again?
Described as "A gentle, sweet-natured film populated by butterflies who decline to be broken on the wheel of cynicism" by Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian, "Side-splittingly funny" by Psychologies Magazine and "a significant achievement" by Sukhdev Sandhu in the Daily Telegraph, Three Miles North of Molkom was nominated for the Best British Documentary prize at the British Independent Film Awards in 2008.
