Director Statement
As I watched the dark cloud of fascism roll over us in the last years, I felt like I could not just sit idly by and wring my hands, I had to respond. Had to do something to resist. "Return to Eden," an act of madness, is that response. And while these may indeed be times of darkness, I believe what we are seeing is actually the prelude to a new beginning. "Return to Eden" is an emotional journey into the depths of the darkness, an emotional roller coaster designed to lead the heart from sorrow to soaring ecstasy, to reawaken that which is so incredible in the human race. To provoke a return to Eden.
