After casting off the traditional expectations, like working for a large corporation, buying a house and car in the suburbs, and raising a family there, a group of adventurous young professionals from Grand Rapids, Michigan embarks on a journay to discover what it takes to build an economically and socially sustainable community. They find a strong cooperative community in Austin, Texas and learn from its founders the follies and conflicts that any cooperative community must face. Whether brand new to the concept of cooperatives, or a veteran "cooperator" looking to further expand a community, this documentary shows us what it takes to follow our passions and create something that will benefit generations to come.
